< 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 steps, or the goings up.” To thee do I lift up mine eyes, O Thou who 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 look to the hand of their masters, And as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, So do our eyes look to the LORD, our God, Until he have pity upon us.
3 Show favor to us O Yahweh show favor to us for much we have been surfeited contempt.
Have mercy upon us, O LORD! have mercy upon us, For we are overwhelmed 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 filled to the full with the scorn of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
