**Overview**
**** [Psalms 131:1](../../../kjv/psalms/131/1), David, professing his humility, [Psalms 131:3](../../../kjv/psalms/131/3), exhorts Israel to trust in God.
Some think that this Psalm was composed by David when accused by Saul and his courtiers that he affected the crown; though others refer it to the time of the captivity; and consider it as containing a fair account of the manner in which the captives behaved themselves.
