Psalm 131 a cappella
"My heart’s not proud, O LORD"
Sing Psalms version
tune: Dennis
Falkirk Free Church
image: Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll which was scribed and send by Baruch. Picture by Otto Semler and others, many based on the engravings by Carolsfeld, all in the public domain.
Rather than try to depict a weaned child this depicts Baruch whom God addresses through Jeremiah in Jeremiah 45. The scene itself is based on Jeremiah 36.

PSALM 131 S.M.

1 My heart’s not proud, O LORD,
nor haughty is my eye;
I do not occupy myself
with things too great or high.

2 My spirit I have calmed;
my heart is pacified.
My soul is like a little child
close to its mother’s side.

Just like a little child
my soul is calmed in me.
3 O Isr’el, hope in God the LORD
now and eternally.

Jeremiah 45 (WEB) The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 2 “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3 ‘You said, “Woe is me now! For Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain! I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.”’ 4 “You shall tell him, Yahweh says: ‘Behold, that which I have built, I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land. 5 Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh,’ says Yahweh; ‘but I will let you escape with your life wherever you go.’”
