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)

Psalm 132(I)

A song of ascents.

Lord, remember David
    and all his self-denial.(J)

He swore an oath to the Lord,
    he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:(K)
“I will not enter my house(L)
    or go to my bed,
I will allow no sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
till I find a place(M) for the Lord,
    a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
