Psalms 131
Humility and Contentment in God's Care
Psalm 131 is a short but powerful reflection on cultivating a humble and contented heart. The psalmist acknowledges his tendency to become prideful and anxious, but chooses instead to trust in God's loving care. He urges himself and others to find peace in resting like a weaned child on their mother's lap, releasing control and the need for worldly aspirations.
1{A Song of degrees of David.} 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.
2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
