Psalm 131 ~ Psalm 131

picture

1 L ord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

¶ LORD, my heart has not become haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither have I walked in grandeur, nor in wonderful things above and beyond that which pertains to me.

2 S urely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

Rather I have quieted myself and caused my soul to become silent, that I might be as a child that is weaned of his mother, as one who is weaned from my own life.

3 L et Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.

Let Israel wait for the LORD from now on and for ever.
