Psalm 131 English Standard Version (ESV)

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1. O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;my eyes are not raised too high;I do not occupy myself with thingstoo great and too marvelous for me.

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.

3. O Israel, hope in the Lordfrom this time forth and forevermore.
