‏ Psalms 131

Ps 131:1, David, professing his humility, Ps 131:3, exhorts Israel to trust in God. Some think that this Psalm was composed by David when accused by Saul and his courtiers that he affected the crown; though others refer it to the time of the captivity; and consider it as containing a fair account of the manner in which the captives behaved themselves.
