Psalms 131
A short psalm of humble, childlike trust in God.
Psalm 131 is one of the shortest psalms, a personal confession that begins, "Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty." Its quiet, three-verse simplicity offers a deliberate contrast to the anguished cry that opens Psalms 130.
> Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; Nor do I concern myself with great matters, Or things too wonderful for me.
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Israel, hope in Yahweh, From this time forth and forevermore.
