Psalms 131:2 meaning and explanation
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Psalms 131:2, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
David is speaking, likely near the end of his life, and in this song of ascents he describes the inner posture that matches the humility he confessed in verse 1. The Hebrew verb shavah, rendered stilled, carries the sense of leveling or making even, and the picture is a child old enough to be weaned, no longer frantic for milk but resting content against its mother.
