David Quietly Rests Before God

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1Yahweh, my heart is not proud, and my eyes are not raised high; I have not concerned myself with matters too great and too wondrous for me.

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

3Israel, hope in Yahweh from now and forever.
