Notes
In the brief three verses of Psalm 131 David asserts his satisfaction in the Lord. In verse 1 he states that he does not give his attention to things that do not concern him, in verse 2 he makes an oath declaring himself to be at rest within and then likens himself to a child in his mother’s arms. He concludes in verse 3 by urging Israel to join him in hoping in Yahweh forever.
