1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

3 Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.

<b>my heart was not haughty, etc.</b> I did not behave with superiority. I did not make great things pleasures, buildings, and plantings as my son made. Behold I am with You like one who has no hands or feet, like an incomplete form lying before You.

<b>I calmed and quieted</b> my soul upon You, like a suckling who is placed upon his mother. גָמוּל is one who sucks the breasts. <b>like a suckling was my soul with me</b> My soul within me was before You as an infant sucking its mother’s breasts.
