Psalms 123

1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest 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 look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon YHWH our Elohim, until that he have mercy upon 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 Have mercy upon us, O YHWH, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

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