Ps. 131: Ascent of Humility

Psalm 131:3 "O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore."

Worrying about the future and what could potentially, possibly stress a person out is a lot of work, and it counts for nothing. David says he does not concern himself with such matters, as they are too wonderful for him.

Like a weaned child with its mother, David says. A child who has taken a step forward in maturity. Instead of demanding his next meal and not knowing if it will ever come because of the severe hunger pangs, David humbles himself to trust God with the unknown things, and implores the reader to do the same.
