Psalms 131:2

Simple Trust in the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 Lord, my heart is not¹ haughty,
Nor my eyes¹ lofty.
^aNeither do I¹ concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too¹ profound for me.

2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
^aLike a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 ^aO Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever.

Psalms 131:2

I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child - On the contrary, I have been under the rod of others, and when chastised have not complained; and my silence under my affliction was the fullest proof that I neither murmured nor repined, but received all as coming from the hands of a just God.

My soul is even as a weaned child - I felt I must forego many conveniences and comforts which I once enjoyed; and these I gave up without repining or demurring.
