(A Song of the degrees by David.)

Psalm 131)

1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty:
Neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
Or in things too wonderful for me.

2 [See] whether I have not behaved and silenced (or soothed and uplifted, i.e. comforted) myself,
As a child that is weaned of his mother:

Myself is even as a weaned child.

3 Let Israel (used to link the 3 Psalms of this group together [129:1; 130:7,8; 131:3]. For Israel is to find rest and peace where their kings [David, Hezekiah] found it) hope in the LORD
From henceforth and for ever.
