                        A Short Psalm of Trust
                        ----------------------

In which the psalmist declares his dependence upon God; acknowledging
the superiority of the Creator's wisdom over that of the created.  The
psalmist encourages others to do the same.


        LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty;
                Neither do I deal in great matters,
                Nor in things to high for me.

        Surely I have humbled and quieted myself,
                As a child that is weaned of its mother;
                My soul is even as a weaned child.

        Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth 
                and for ever.

                                Psalm 131 (Lamsa'a Translation)
