A Childlike Spirit

My heart is not lifted up,
My eyes are not raised too high;
I drink coffee in my cup,
And let out a mournful sigh.

I have not been occupied,
With the things that are too great;
Nor too marvelous for pride,
Motivated by my fate.

But I have calmed down my soul,
As a mother with child;
She quiets him to control,
To be tender and mild.

Let Zion hope in the Lord,
From this time forevermore;
And to walk in one accord,
He will make them feel secure.
