Psalm 131

1    O Lord, my heart is not proud;  

my eyes are not raised in haughty looks.

2    I do not occupy myself with great matters,  

with things that are too high for me.

3    But I have quieted and stilled my soul,

    like a weaned child on its mother’s breast;  

so my soul is quieted within me.

4    O Israel, trust in the Lord,  

from this time forth for evermore.
