Psalm 131 (New International Version)

Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.
1 My heart is not proud, O LORD,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.

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

3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD
both now and forevermore.


What a precious picture,... a baby at peace in its mother's arms. I just had to share that. There are so many great Psalms, but this was particularly special. Lay in the arms of the Lord, allow Him to hold you close. He will protect you and calm your soul. The amplified Bible says that there is no more 'fretting' so chill out!
