Song Of Serenity

 O YAHWEH, my heart is not proud

nor do I have arrogant eyes.

I am not engrossed in ambitious matters,

nor in things too great for me.

I have quieted and stilled my soul,

like a weaned child, on its mother's lap;

like a contented child is my soul.

Hope in YAHWEH, O Israel,

now and forever.

- Psalm 131:1. 2. 3 

(A perfect expression of the childlike trust and peace which should be the attitude of the children of GOD!  But, not one that is achieved without effort--'I have quieted and stilled my soul'.

The prayer of Charles de Foucauld, "FATHER, I place myself in YOUR hands," is a beautiful paraphrase of this psalm.)
