Psalms 131
Psalm 131#sn Psalm 131. The psalmist affirms his humble dependence on the Lord and urges Israel to place its trust in God.
A song of ascents,#sn The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21. by David.
1O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor do I have a haughty look. I do not have great aspirations, or concern myself with things that are beyond me.
2Indeed I am composed and quiet, like a young child carried by its mother; I am content like the young child I carry.
3O Israel, hope in the Lord now and forevermore!
