Psalm

Calm Trust in Yahweh

A song of ascents. Of David.[a]

131 
My heart is not haughty nor my eyes arrogant.[b]

And I do not concern myself[c]

with things too great and difficult for me.

Rather I have soothed and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child with its mother,

like the weaned child is my soul with me.

O Israel, hope in Yahweh

from now until forever.
