Psalms 131 A song of ascents, by David. Hashem my heart was not proud, and my eyes were not haughty, nor did I pursue matters too great and too wonderous for me. I sware that I stilled and silenced my soal, like a suckling child at his mother's side, like a suckling child is my soul. Let Israel hope to Hashem, from this time and forever.
According to the Artscroll Tehillim, the above is loosly translated as..." A righteous person is not arrogant because of his achievements or jealous of those who are greater than he. For he knows all success is bestowed by Hashem, each person according to his needs and mission."
