Psalm 131 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.
[2] Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
[3] Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forward and forever more.
