Psalm 131

A Song of degrees of David.

1        My heart not haughty is, O Lord,

                   mine eyes not lofty be;

          Nor do I deal in matters great,

                   or things too high for me.

2        I surely have myself behav'd

                   with quiet sp'rit and mild,

          As child of mother wean'd: my soul

                   is like a weaned child.

3        Upon the Lord let all the hope

                   of Israel rely,

          Ev'n from the time that present is

                   unto eternity.
