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.
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned child with his mother,
    like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Israel, hope in Yahweh,
    from this time forward and forever more.

Psalm 131

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

Lord, my heart is not haughty,
    my eyes are not raised too high.
I have not striven for enormities,
    for things too wonderful for me.
I composed and quieted my desire,
    like a child given suck by his mother;
    like a child who sucks is my desire within me.

Let Israel hope in the Lord
    from now and forever.
