Psalms 123

1 Unto you lift I up mine eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.

To thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou who sit 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 the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are to Jehovah our God, until he has mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us, for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
