USB ~ Psalms 131

Humble Trust in God

1 A song of ascents. Of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; nor are my eyes haughty. I do not busy myself with great matters, with things too sublime for me. a

2 Rather, I have stilled my soul, Like a weaned child to its mother, weaned is my soul. b

3 Israel, hope in the LORD, now and forever.
