< Psalms 123 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller in the heavens.
2 Behold, as eyes of menservants [Are] to the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] to the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, Until He favors us.
3 Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly filled with contempt,
4 Our soul has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
