Finding Peace in a Chaotic World (Psalm 131)

** Psalm 131 is one of the shortest yet most profound psalms in the Bible. It reflects King David's heart of humility, his trust in God, and his deep sense of contentment in the Lord. Written during a time when David could have easily been consumed by pride or ambition, this psalm reveals his surrender to God's greater wisdom and plan. David chooses to rest his soul, letting go of worldly concerns and focusing on his relationship with Yahweh. The imagery of a weaned child resting calmly with its mother perfectly portrays this deep, peaceful reliance on God. In a world driven by pride and ambition, this psalm is a timeless reminder of the value of humility, trust, and quiet confidence in the Lord.

** Original Text (Psalm 131 - WEB Translation)

Yahweh, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty;
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Or things too wonderful for me.

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother.
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Israel, hope in Yahweh,
From this time forth and forevermore.

** Song Lyrics: "Calmed Soul Blues"

Verse 1
Yahweh, my heart ain't lifted high,
My eyes don't look above,
I ain't chasing after mighty things,
I just rest in Your love.
I don't trouble with great matters,
Or things too high for me,
I lay it down and trust in You,
In Your peace, I'm set free.

Chorus
Oh, I've calmed my soul, like a weaned child,
Restin' deep, oh so mild,
Like a child in its mother's arms,
I find my peace in Your charms.

Verse 2
I've quieted my soul within me,
Like a weaned child with its mother,
No longer restless, no longer yearning,
I don't need no more to bother.
I trust in You, Lord, You hold me close,
You're the One who's always near,
I've let go of the heavy load,
In Your arms, I have no fear.

Chorus
Oh, I've calmed my soul, like a weaned child,
Restin' deep, oh so mild,
Like a child in its mother's arms,
I find my peace in Your charms.

Bridge
Israel, hope in Yahweh,
From now and forevermore,
He's the One who'll lead you on,
To peace like you've never known before.

Verse 3
I don't need to know it all, Lord,
Just to rest in what You've said,
I've learned to trust, I've learned to wait,
No more chasing, I'm not misled.
My heart's not high, my eyes aren't proud,
I've found my rest in You,
Like a weaned child, so calm, so still,
Lord, I trust in all You do.

Chorus
Oh, I've calmed my soul, like a weaned child,
Restin' deep, oh so mild,
Like a child in its mother's arms,
I find my peace in Your charms.

Outro
I find my peace in Your charms,
I find my peace in Your arms.
