PSALM CXXXI.

Lord! no ambitious Mind I bear,
Betray'd in haughty Airs:
Nor I, above my proper Sphere
Converse in great Affairs.
But mildly I myself demean'd;
And angry Thoughts suppress'd:
As when an Infant newly wean'd,
Forgets his Mother's Breast.
Ev'n like that weanling Babe my Mind
Is soon compos'd to Peace:
To God be Israel's Hope resign'd,
From now till Time shall cease.
