Chapter 131
David declares his heart is not lifted up nor his eyes raised too high. He does not concern himself with great matters beyond him. His soul is calmed and quieted like a weaned child with its mother. Israel is to hope in the Lord forever. This brief psalm beautifully captures the peace of humble trust.
1LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
