Wait For God With Hope
1-3 God, I’m not trying to rule the roost, I don’t want to be king of the mountain. I haven’t meddled where I have no business or fantasized grandiose plans. I’ve kept my feet on the ground, I’ve cultivated a quiet heart. Like a baby content in its mother’s arms, my soul is a baby content. Wait, Israel, for God. Wait with hope. Hope now; hope always!
– Psalm 131
The Message Version (MSG)
懷著昐望等候上帝
131 上帝啊,我不敢當家作主,也不想在山頭作王。我不敢干預別人的閒事,或雄心勃勃地幻想著偉大的計劃。我腳踏實地,為自己培養一顆寧靜的心。好像孩子滿足地躺在母親的懷中,我的靈魂滿足地像孩子。以色列啊,你當等候上帝。以仰望的心等候。從現在到永遠,你當仰望祂!
