Psalms 131:2-3As a child that is weaned of its mother.The weaned soul hoping in the LordIn the same hour in which the soul of man is by grace weaned from itself and-its own high thoughts, it begins to hope and rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalms 131:3Let Israel hope in the Lord.Hope in the LordHumility is the root of hope. Hope is the blossom of meekness. As these graces of the true child develop themselves in the heart of a man, he cherishes the Divine, the sublime conviction that it is God the Spirit who is working within him, “both to will and to do.”I. A large portion of experimental religion, and of the Divine life within a man, may be considered under the form of hope. Religious experience is a strong and well-grounded... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 131:1

Psalms 131:1 « A Song of degrees of David. » 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. Ver. 1. Lord, my heart is not haughty ] Though anointed and appointed by thee to the kingdom; yet I have not ambitiously aspired unto it, by seeking Saul’s death, as his flatters persuaded him; nor do I now, being possessed of it, proudly domineer (as is the manner of most potentates) and tyrannize over my poor subjects;... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 131:1

1. Heart… haughty… eyes lofty The words rendered “haughty” and “lofty” are of similar meaning, and both denote pride. The “heart” and the “eyes” are mentioned as being, the one the chief natural lodgment, and the other the expression, of such a spirit. Strongly does the psalmist repudiate what is so offensive to God, and presents his heart and the expression of his countenance before his Maker, as inward and external proof of his sincerity. Striking at once, as he does, into this... read more
