"The Anti-Psalm"

David Powlison turns Ps. 131 into its opposite, the anti-psalm:

Self,
      my heart is proud (I'm absorbed in myself),
      and my eyes are haughty (I look down on other people),
      and I chase after things too great and too difficult for me.
So of course I'm noisy and restless inside, it comes naturally,
      like a hungry infant fussing on his mother's lap,
      like a hungry infant, I'm restless with my demands and worries.
I scatter my hopes onto anything and everybody all the time.
