Psalms 131:2

Indeed ¹  I am composed and quiet, ²  like a young child carried by its mother; ³  I am content like the young child I carry. ⁴ 

But I have stilled and quietened my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me.

But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother. Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.

I've kept my feet on the ground, I've cultivated a quiet heart. Like a baby content in its mother's arms, my soul is a baby content.

See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother’s breast; my soul is like a child on its mother’s breast.

But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Indeed ¹  I am composed and quiet, ²  like a young child carried by its mother; ³  I am content like the young child I carry. ⁴
