Psalm 131 is a trust in God Psalm. It stresses the virtue of humility and was designed to get the worshipper in the right frame of attitude on their way to the Temple for worship that is why it is called a song of ascent. The imagery “small child is quiet with its mother” (131:2) suggests one who is happy and secure, having gone through the difficult weaning process. Such is the psalmist’s condition after being weaned from a desire for status. The psalmist testified to the tranquility of the one trusting God and exhorted others to trust as well.
