My Heart Is Not Exalted, LORD

S. A. Sterrett Metheny • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 131

Verse 1

My heart is not exalted, LORD, Nor haughty is my eye. I do not deal in matters great, Or things for me too high.

Verse 2

I have composed and calmed my soul, I'm like a little child; Now weaned, he on this mother rests With soul subdued and mild.

Verse 3

Yes, like a child who has been weaned, My soul is calmed in me. Hope in the LORD, O Israel, Now and eternally.
