Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

My heart is not proud,(A) Lord,
    my eyes are not haughty;(B)
I do not concern myself with great matters(C)
    or things too wonderful for me.(D)
But I have calmed and quieted myself,(E)
    I am like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child I am content.(F)

Israel, put your hope(G) in the Lord
    both now and forevermore.(H)

61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(A)

62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
