Chapter 131

Humility and hope


A song of degrees of David

1

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 forever.
