On their website they have a couple of blurbs on various Psalms their songs are based on. I particularly love this one. Wish I was better at trusting entirely in God!!
Psalm 131
[The Psalmist] is resting transparently in the power of God. In this place of intimacy and trust he has discovered an unshakable peace and stillness of soul. He likens the experience to that of a child that has just been weaned off its mother breast and lies contentedly and peacefully in her arms. So too when we rest our lives in the arms of God do we find a stillness of soul and a contentment that all the external threats of this world can never take away from us. The final cry of the psalm sums up the reason for this personal spiritual testimony. The psalmist wants people to see the inward spiritual rewards of humility in order that they might trust in God. “O Israel – hope in the LORD.” In this position of peace and joy the psalmist longs that all of God’s people would learn to do the same and discover what peace is available to them in the arms of God if they will only put their trust and hope entirely in him.
