Psalm 131

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

 

1 O LORD, my heart is not lifted up;
   my eyes are not raised too high;
   I do not occupy myself with things
   too great and too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
   like a weaned child with its mother;
   like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, hope in the LORD
   from this time forth and forevermore.

 

As one whom his mother comforts,
   so I will comfort you;
   you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
 

Proverbs 31:30

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
