Psalms 131
David declares before **YHWH** that his heart is not haughty, his eyes not lofty, and he does not concern himself with matters too great or profound for him[1][2]. He compares his calmed and quieted soul to a weaned child with its mother, calling Israel to hope in **YHWH** from now and forevermore[1][3].
