Religion
Psalm CXXXI
From Paraphrase on the Psalms of David in Metre (1692)
Religion
Lord, I disclaim a haughty mind,
And an ambitious [lofty] eye;
I do not exercise my self
In things for me too [great and] high.
Thou know'st I have behav'd my self
In quietness, as [low and] mild;
As a child weaned from the breast,
[My soul's] even as a weaned child.
Upon the Lord let Israel,
With [fullest] trust and hope rely;
Not only now, but from henceforth,
Even [un-] to [all] Eternity.
