Psalm 131

Modern

Literal

I Have Stilled My Soul

¹A song of ascents. Of David.

My heart is not proud, O LORD,

my eyes are not haughty.

I do not aspire to great things

or matters too lofty for me.

¹A Song of the Ascents. Of David. O YHWH, my heart is not lifted high, and my eyes are not raised up, and neither have I gone about in great things, and in marvelous things beyond me.

²Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul;

like a weaned child with his mother,

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

²If not, I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with his mother; my soul is like a weaned child within me.

³O Israel, put your hope in the LORD,

both now and forevermore.

³Look with hope, O Israel, unto YHWH, from now even to forever!
