Psalm 123

A Song of Ascents.

123 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.
