I do not busy myself with great matters, with things too sublime for me. 2 Rather, I have stilled my soul, Like a weaned child to its mother, weaned is my soul. 3 Israel, hope in the LORD, now and forever. \* (Psalm 131) A song of trust, in which the psalmist gives up self-sufficiency ([Ps 131:1]), like a babe enjoying the comfort of its mother’s lap ([Ps 131:2]), thus providing a model for Israel’s faith ([Ps 131:3]). a. (131:1) [Ps 139:6]. b. (131:2) [Is 66:12] – [13]. --- _New American Bible, revised edition_ (2010, 1991, 1986, 1970) Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Washington, D.C. > [[psalm-130|← Previous]] | [[psalm-00|TOC]] | [[psalm-132|Next →]]
