Psalm 131
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
2. Surely, &c.—The form is that of an oath or strongest assertion. Submission is denoted by the figure of a weaned child. As the child weaned by his mother from the breast, so I still the motions of pride in me (Mt 18:3, 4; Isa 11:8; 28:9). Hebrew children were often not weaned till three years old.

soul—may be taken for desire, which gives a more definite sense, though one included in the idea conveyed by the usual meaning, myself.

Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
