Psalms 123

1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells in the heavens.

2 Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to us.

Behold, as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.

3 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain.

4 Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.

For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.
