131:1 A song of degrees or Psalme of David. Lord, mine heart is not hautie, neither are mine eyes loftie, neither haue I walked in great matters and hid from me.
131:2 Surely I haue behaued my selfe, like one wained from his mother, and kept silence: I am in my selfe as one that is wained.
131:3 Let Israel waite on the Lord from hencefoorth and for euer.
The verse centers on "song", "degrees", "psalme", "david", "lord", "mine", "heart", and "hautie". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "song" and "degrees", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The local GNV text gives this verse as the immediate unit, so "song" and "degrees" carries the first interpretive weight. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "song" and "degrees" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
