<<  PSALM CXXXI. >>

A Song of Ascents; of David.

1. Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty;
Neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
Or in things too wonderful for me.
2. Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child with his mother,
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3. O Israel, hope in Jehovah
From this time forth and for evermore.
