Psalm 131

New International Version

from Biblica

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. 

2 But I have calmed and quietened myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. 

3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and for evermore.

Psalm 131

King James Version

1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
