Psalms 131
Psalms 131 opens with these words: “Yahweh, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.” The line to keep is Psalms 131:1: “Yahweh, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.” Carry the word “heart” from that verse into the rest of the day.
