Psalms 123

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

A song of ascents. I Lift up my eyes to you, who are throned 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.

As the eyes of a servant turn to the hand of his master, or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so do our eyes turn to the Lord our God, until he is gracious to us.

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

Be gracious, be gracious to us, Lord. Scorn enough, and more, have we borne

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

More than enough have we borne of derision from those at their ease, of scorn from those who are haughty.
