I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

1 LORDLord: יְהוָה / אֲדֹנָי (YHWH / Adonai). When 'LORD' appears in small capitals, it represents the Tetragrammaton YHWH (יְהוָה), God's personal covenant name meaning 'I AM.' When 'Lord' appears normally, it's Adonai (אֲדֹנָי), meaning 'my Lord,' emphasizing sovereignty., my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. References Lord: Psalms 122:1, 124:1, Jeremiah 45:5. Parallel theme: Psalms 101:5, 133:1, 139:6, Numbers 12:3, Job 42:3, Matthew 11:29, Romans 12:16 +5

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Parallel theme: Psalms 42:5, 42:11, 43:5, 62:1, 1 Samuel 30:6, Isaiah 30:15, Lamentations 3:26, Mark 10:15, Luke 21:19, 1 Corinthians 14:20 +5

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. References Lord: Psalms 115:18, Isaiah 26:4. Hope: Psalms 130:7, 146:5
