Psalms 123

A Song of Ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to you,
you who sit in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her
mistress, so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God,
until he has mercy on us.

3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy
on us, for we have endured much contempt.

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