‏ Psalms 131:1-2

1 David, professing his humility,

3 exhorts Israel to trust in God.

(Title.) A Song of degrees.Some think that this Psalm was composed by David when accused by Saul and his courtiers that he affected the crown; though others refer it to the time of the captivity; and consider it as containing a fair account of the manner in which the captives behaved themselves.
