Psalm 131

Song of Quiet Trust

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

¹O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
    my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
    too great and too marvelous for me.^(A)
²But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned child with its mother;
    my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.^[a]^(B)

³O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time on and forevermore.^(C)

Psalm 131

Contemporary English Version

(A song by David for worship.)

Trust the Lord!

¹I am not conceited, Lord,
and I don't waste my time
    on impossible schemes.
²But I have learned to feel safe
    and satisfied,
like a young child
    in its mother's arms.

³People of Israel,
you must trust the Lord
now and forever.
