Psalm 131:1-2

New International Reader's Version

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.

131 Lord, my heart isn’t proud.
    My eyes aren’t proud either.
I don’t concern myself with important matters.
    I don’t concern myself with things that are too wonderful for me.
²I have made myself calm and content
    like a young child in its mother’s arms.
    Deep down inside me, I am as content as a young child.
