Psalm 131

Setting

My heart’s not proud, O LORD,

Free Church of Scotland psalter · S.M.

The words

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

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. O Isr’el, hope in God the LORD now and eternally.

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
