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 the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.
2
Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me is my soul.

Exhortation to Israel

3
Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!
