Psalm 131
A quieted soul
The singer declares his heart not haughty, his eyes not lofty, and his soul quieted and stilled like a weaned child trusting in the Lord.
3 verses. The 131st of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
1Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.
