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.
2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with his mother,
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 Israel, hope in Yahweh,
from this time forward and forever more.
Psalm 131

Nor with things too [d]profound for me.

(B)Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

From this time forth and forever.
