Joe: Alright, so tell me about Psalms 131!

Bible Expert: Sure, so this Psalm is a short one and is attributed to King David. It is a song of trust in God.

Joe: Huh, so what does it say?

Bible Expert: Well, it begins with David saying that he has calmed and quieted his soul like a weaned child. He says that he will not be tempted to be proud or arrogant and that he trusts in the Lord.

Joe: Wait, so what does it mean to be weaned?

Jamie: (from the background) Umm, Joe, it means to be gradually taken off breast milk and given other food.

Joe: Ahh, got it! So what else does it say?

Bible Expert: Well, then he says that his soul is like a weaned child that is content and at peace. He says he will find rest in the Lord and not be tempted to reach for anything higher than God.

Joe: That's pretty deep. Okay, so what's the point of all this?

Bible Expert: Well, the point is that David is expressing his trust and dependence on the Lord and encouraging others to do the same. He's saying that when you put your trust in the Lord, you will find peace and contentment.
