Psalms 123

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

A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.

2 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.

See, as the eyes of servants look to their master's hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress's hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh our God until he has mercy on us.

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

Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.

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

We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.
