A song of ascents. Of David.
My heart is not proud, Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.
Israel, put your hope in the Lord
both now and forevermore.
My heart is not proud - Pride (sin) - one undervalues other people
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
my eyes are not haughty;
If someone slanders another in secret,
I will cut him off.
Haughty eyes and proud hearts
I cannot abide.

16 Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.
This came from David - a king - What would he consider great matters or things to wonderful for him not to be concerned?

But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
