Psalms 123

1 [A Song of Ascents.] To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.

2 Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.

3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

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