Psalms 131

LORD, my heart isn't proud and my eyes aren't lofty. I don't meddle in great matters or things too high for me. Surely I've calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother. My soul is like a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the LORD from now on and forever.

Like a weaned child

LORD, my heart isn't proud and my eyes aren't lofty. I don't meddle in great matters or things too high for me. Surely I've calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother. My soul is like a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the LORD from now on and forever.

Lord, my heart isn't proud and my eyes aren't set high. I don't get myself into great matters or things too high for me. I've settled my soul and quieted it, like a weaned child with his mother. My soul is like a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the Lord from now on and forever.

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. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
