Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 My heart is not proud,(A) Lord,
    my eyes are not haughty;(B)
I do not concern myself with great matters(C)

2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,(E)

    like a weaned child I am content.(F)

3 Israel, put your hope(G) in the Lord
    both now and forevermore.(H)

Psalm 131
New Living Translation

Psalm 131

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.

1 Lord, my heart is not proud;
    my eyes are not haughty.
I don’t concern myself with matters too great
    or too awesome for me to grasp.
2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,
    like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.
    Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, put your hope in the Lord—
    now and always.

Psalm 131
Revised Geneva Translation

131 LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor are my eyes lofty, nor have I proceeded in great matters and things hidden from me.

2 Surely, I have behaved like one weaned from his mother and kept silent. In myself, I am as one who is weaned.

3 Let Israel wait on the LORD from henceforth and forever. A song of degrees
