Psalm 131

3 verses · 1769 KJV text

A Song of degrees of David.

1LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.ab

2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.c

3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.d
