Psalms 131
A tiny psalm of profound humility. David declares his heart is not proud and he does not concern himself with great matters beyond him. He has stilled and quieted his soul like a weaned child resting on its mother.
A song of ascents. Of David.
My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forevermore.
