Psalm 131 | New International Reader’s Version

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.

1 LORD, my heart isn’t proud. My eyes aren’t proud either. I don’t concern myself with important matters. I don’t concern myself with things that are too wonderful for me.

2 I have made myself calm and content like a young child in its mother’s arms. Deep down inside me, I am as content as a young child.

3 Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and for ever.

New International Version

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.
