Psalm 131

Psalm 131

A Childlike Spirit

A song of ascents. Of David.

Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.(A)
I do not get involved with things
too great or too wondrous for me.(B)
Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul
like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like a weaned child.(C)

Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
both now and forever.(D)

Proverbs 12:22-28

22 Lying lips are detestable to the Lord,(A)
but faithful people are his delight.(B)

23 A shrewd person conceals knowledge,
but a foolish heart publicizes stupidity.(C)

24 The diligent hand will rule,
but laziness will lead to forced labor.(D)

25 Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down,
but a good word cheers it up.(E)

26 A righteous person is careful in dealing with his neighbor,[a]
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.(F)

27 A lazy hunter doesn’t roast his game,(G)
but to a diligent person, his wealth is precious.(H)

28 There is life in the path of righteousness,
and in its path there is no death.[b](I)

Philippians 2:19-24

Timothy and Epaphroditus

19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus(A) to send Timothy(B) to you soon so that I too may be encouraged by news about you. 20 For I have no one else like-minded who will genuinely care about your interests; 21 all seek their own interests,(C) not those of Jesus Christ.(D) 22 But you know his proven character, because he has served with me in the gospel ministry like a son with a father. 23 Therefore, I hope to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. 24 I am confident in the Lord that I myself will also come soon.(E)
