Psalms 131
The speaker humbly acknowledges their limitations, avoiding pride and focusing on what is within their understanding. They have found inner peace, likening their soul to a weaned child resting in its mother's presence. The passage concludes with an encouragement to Israel to place their hope in the Lord.
1O LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.2But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.3O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forevermore.
