< Psalms 123 >
1 [the] song of The ascents to you I have lifted up eyes my the [one who] sits in the heavens.
“A song of the degrees.” Unto thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Here! like [the] eyes of slaves [which are] to [the] hand of master their like [the] eyes of a female slave [which are] to [the] hand of mistress her so eyes our [are] to Yahweh God our until that he will show favor to us.
Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress: thus are our eyes directed unto the Lord our God, until he be gracious unto us.
3 Show favor to us O Yahweh show favor to us for much we have been surfeited contempt.
Be gracious unto us, O Lord! be gracious unto us; for we are overburdened with contempt.
4 Much it has been surfeited itself self our the mockery of self-confident [people] the contempt (of arrogant opressors. *Q(K)*)
Our soul is overburdened with the scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
