PSALM 131

1A song of ascents for David.

          LORD, my heart has not been haughty,

          nor have my eyes looked too high,

          nor have I striven for great things,

          nor for things too wondrous for me.

    2But I have calmed and contented myself

          like a weaned babe on its mother–

              like a weaned babe I am with myself.

    3Wait, O Israel, for the LORD,

          now and forevermore.
