I had never read this before. Now it is my prayer to be able to say these words...

Psalm 131 (English Standard Version)

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

¹O 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.

²But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.

³O Israel, hope in the LORD
from this time forth and forevermore.

Or how about this version?

Psalm 131 (The Message)

A Pilgrim Song

¹God, I'm not trying to rule the roost,
I don't want to be king of the mountain.
I haven't meddled where I have no business
or fantasized grandiose plans.

² I've kept my feet on the ground,
I've cultivated a quiet heart.
Like a baby content in its mother's arms,
my soul is a baby content.

³ Wait, Israel, for God. Wait with hope.
Hope now; hope always!
