Psalm 131
Translated by George Wither (1632) · From The Psalmes of David Translated into Lyrick-Verse (1632)
Religion
OH Lord, I have no scornefull eie,
Nor proud nor loftie minde.
I seek not things that are too high,
But, humbly am inclinde.
My soul is like an infant wean'd,
(Ev'n from his mothers brest)
And, Isr'el, so (to be sustaind)
On God, should alway rest.
