In this beautiful and deeply moving kapitel, Dovid HaMelech expresses his profound anavah and complete submission to Hashem, sharing how he keeps his heart from pride and avoids pursuing things that are too wondrous or hidden from him. He describes his neshama as being calm and quiet, trusting in Hashem like a weaned child resting peacefully in its mother's arms. Dovid HaMelech concludes with a heartfelt call to Klal Yisrael to place all their hope and trust in Hashem, now and for all eternity.
שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד יְהוָה לֹא־גָבַהּ לִבִּי וְלֹא־רָמוּ עֵינַי וְלֹא־הִלַּכְתִּי בִּגְדֹלוֹת וּבְנִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי׃
אִם־לֹא שִׁוִּיתִי וְדוֹמַמְתִּי נַפְשִׁי כְּגָמֻל עֲלֵי אִמּוֹ כַּגָּמֻל עָלַי נַפְשִׁי׃
יַחֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהוָה מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם׃
