Lyrics (Psalm 131:1, 2, 3):
Response: In you, Lord, I have found my peace.
O Lord, my heart is not proud,
nor are my eyes haughty;
I do not busy myself with great things,
nor with things too sublime for me. Response
No, rather, I have stilled and quieted
my soul like a weaned child.
Like a weaned child on its mother's lap,
so is my soul within me. Response
O Israel, hope in the Lord,
both now and forever. Response
