Psalm 123

1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

1 I look up toward you,
the one enthroned in heaven.

2 Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress,
so my eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.

3 Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor!
For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.

4 We have had our fill
of the taunts of the self-assured,
of the contempt of the proud.
