Psalm 131

English Standard Version

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. (Job 42:3; Ps 101:5; Ps 120:1; Ps 138:6; Isa 57:15; Jer 45:5; Ro 12:16) 

2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. (Mt 18:3; 1Co 14:20) 

3 O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. (Ps 130:7)

Psalm 131

King James Version

1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
