Psalm 131

1 Ein Wallfahrtslied. Von David. HERR! Mein Herz will nicht hoch hinaus, meine Augen sind nicht hochmütig. Ich gehe nicht mit Dingen um, die zu groß und zu wunderbar für mich sind. (2Sa 6:22; Pr 21:4) 2 Habe ich meine Seele nicht beschwichtigt und beruhigt? Wie ein entwöhntes Kind bei seiner Mutter, wie ein entwöhntes Kind ist meine Seele in mir. 3 Harre, Israel, auf den HERRN, von nun an bis in Ewigkeit! (Ps 121:8; Ps 130:7)
