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.
