English Standard Version Revision 2016
Psalm 131

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 O 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.

2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, hope in the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore.
