Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American Standard Version
Psalms 131
1A Song of Ascents; of David. Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me. 2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3O Israel, hope in Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore.
