Psalms 131 · Grade 2
Resting in God
Read the Story
Psalm 131 is short. Its title calls it A Song of Ascents by David. David says he is not proud. He does not try to know everything.
He is calm and quiet, like a little child resting with his mother. The child does not fuss. He just rests. David trusts God like that. He tells everyone to hope in God.
