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 the LORD, our God,
until he has mercy on us. ³ Have mercy on us, LORD, 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.
