Psalm 131:1; Proverbs 3:34; Luke 1:48; James 4:6; Psalm 113:5–6

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of mAscents. Of David.

131  O Lord, my heart is not slifted up;

my eyes are not traised too high;

I do not uoccupy myself with things

too great and vtoo marvelous for me.


34  Toward the cscorners he dis scornful,

ebut to the humble he gives favor.1


48  for dhe has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

For behold, from now on all generations ewill call me blessed;


But dhe gives more grace. Therefore it says, eGod opposes the proud but dgives grace to the humble.


kWho is like the Lord our God,

who is seated on high,

who llooks far down

on the heavens and the earth?
