PsalmsChapter 131

Tap any verse to comment or suggest a better wording.

1A song of ascents. Of David.
My heart is not proud, LORD.
My eyes do not look down on others.
I don't reach for great things,
or for things too high for me.
2Truly I have calmed and quieted my soul.
Like a weaned child with his mother,
my soul is like a weaned child inside me.a
3Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
both now and forever.
