Read Psalm 131.  What kind of 'noise' do you struggle to quiet in your own soul?

How do the three parallel lines of 131:1 compound upon one another to form a cohesive idea? What is the poet trying to express?

131:2 contrasts with 131:1. What does the poet intend to communicate via the image of a weened child?

How does 131:3 relate to the rest of the psalm? What does 'hope in the Lord' have to do with quieting the soul? (Consider Hebrews 4:15-16 as commentary on this verse.)

What habits might be helpful to cultivate a quiet soul that fixes hope upon the Lord?
