· Here is a poem that explains each verse and each word picture in Psalm 131. First, compare it with the translation in your Bible. This will help you to understand the parts of Psalm 131 that may seem difficult. Then use the poem again when you pray. Perhaps you have had experiences like those that the author of Psalm 131 had. Then you will be able to make the poem into your own prayer to God.
A song for the journey to Jerusalem.
[1] God, my heart is not proud.
My ambitions are not great.
I do not think about matters that are too important for me.
I realise the limits of my knowledge.
[2] But I have promised to be humble and quiet.
A little child who does not still receive his mother’s milk continues to accept her comfort.
My spirit is like that little child.
[3] People in Israel, put your hope in God, both now and always.
