Psalms 123

1 A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.

4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.

Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
