The Psalms (WEB)

Psalm 123

A Song of Ascents.

 ^123:1To you I do lift up my eyes,
      You who sit in the heavens.

 ^123:2Behold, 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.

 ^123:3Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,
      For we have endured much contempt.

 ^123:4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,
      With the contempt of the proud.
