Psalms 123

1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

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

2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

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, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.

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

4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.

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