A Prayer of Humble Trust[a]

131 
Lord, I have given up my pride

and turned away from my arrogance.

I am not concerned with great matters

or with subjects too difficult for me.

Instead, I am content and at peace.

As a child lies quietly in its mother’s arms,

so my heart is quiet within me.

Israel, trust in the Lord

now and forever!
