Psalm 131
New International Version

### Psalm 131

#### A song of ascents. Of David.

1 My heart is not proud,(A) Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;(B)
I do not concern myself with great matters(C)
or things too wonderful for me.(D)
2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,(E)
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.(F)

3 Israel, put your hope(G) in the Lord
both now and forevermore.(H)
