UST by section PSA 131:1

Psalm 131

A psalm written for people going up to the temple to worship.

131 Yahweh, I have great troubles, so I call out to you.

2 Yahweh, hear me

while I call out to you to have mercy on me!

3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins that we have committed,

not one of us would escape from being condemned and punished!

4 But you forgive us,

with the result that we have an awesome respect for you.

5 Yahweh has said that he would help me;

I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

6 I wait for Yahweh to help me

more than watchmen wait for the morning to come;

yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

7 You, my fellow Israelites, confidently expect that Yahweh will bless us.

He will bless us because he has mercy on us,

and he is very willing to save us.

8 It is he who will save us Israelite people from being punished for all the sins that we have committed.

A psalm written by David for people going up to the temple to worship.

131 Yahweh, I am not proud;

I do not deserve to achieve impressive things in life.

I do not worry about problems that are too difficult for me to solve.

2 Instead, I am calm and peaceful in my inner being

like a small child who no longer nurses but is happy to be with its mother.

In the same way, I am peaceful within my inner being.

3 You, my fellow Israelites, confidently expect that Yahweh will do good things for you

now and forever!
