Psalm 131:1-2
Good News Translation

A Prayer of Humble Trust[a]

131 Lord, I have given up my pride
    and turned away from my arrogance.
I am not concerned with great matters
    or with subjects too difficult for me.
2 Instead, I am content and at peace.
As a child lies quietly in its mother's arms,
    so my heart is quiet within me.
