Psalm 131, verse by verse
Each verse is given twice: first in the King James Version, then in the World Bible Guide plain reading.
Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
God, I'm not arrogant or proud, and I don't pretend to know or understand things beyond my reach.
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
Indeed, I have calmed and composed myself, like a child no longer needing its mother's milk: my spirit is as content as that child.
Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
May Israel forever find hope and comfort in the Lord's embrace.

Hear it read aloud in the iPhone and iPad app, or bring a question about it to Simon Peter, Paul, Philip, John the Baptist, Judas Iscariot or Jesus. When an answer rests on a passage, you see which one. Each person is an interpretation drawn from the text, never the person.
