Psalm 131
Legacy Standard Bible

I Have Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

131 O Yahweh, my heart is not (A)exalted, and my eyes are not (B)raised high;
And I do not [a]involve myself in (C)great matters,
Or in matters (D)too marvelous for me.
2 Surely I have (E)soothed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned (F)child with his mother,
Like a weaned child is my soul [b]within me.
3 O Israel, (G)wait for Yahweh
(H)From now until forever.

A Childlike Spirit

A song of ascents. Of David.

131 Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.(A)
I do not get involved with things
too great or too wondrous for me.(B)
2 Instead, I have calmed and quietened my soul
like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like a weaned child.(C)

3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
both now and for ever.(D)

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
