Psalms 123

A Song of Ascents.

¹To you I do lift up my eyes, you
who sit in the heavens.
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.
³Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,
for we have endured much contempt.
⁴Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,
with the contempt of the proud. A Song of Ascents. By David.
