Psalms131

David expresses profound humility, stating his heart and eyes are not haughty, nor does he pursue matters beyond his understanding. He likens his soul's quieted state to a weaned child, content and no longer striving. Consequently, he encourages Israel to place their hope in the Lord eternally.

David's Declaration of Humility

1
A song of degrees or Psalme of David. Lord, mine heart is not hautie, neither are mine eyes loftie, neither haue I walked in great matters and hid from me.
2
Surely I haue behaued my selfe, like one wained from his mother, and kept silence: I am in my selfe as one that is wained.

Exhortation to Israel

3
Let Israel waite on the Lord from hencefoorth and for euer.
