Psalm 131

World English Bible

A Song of Ascents. By David.

131 Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty;
    nor do I concern myself with great matters,
    or things too wonderful for me.
²Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned child with his mother,
    like a weaned child is my soul within me.
³Israel, hope in Yahweh,
    from this time forward and forever more.

Psalm 131

International Standard Version

A Davidic Song of Ascents

Hope in the Lord

131 Lord, my heart is not arrogant,
    nor do I look haughty.
I do not aspire^[a] to great things,
    nor concern myself with things beyond my ability.
²Instead, I have composed and quieted myself
    like a weaned child with its mother;
        I am like a weaned child.

³Place your hope in the Lord, Israel,
both now and forever.
