Psalms 123

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

A Song of degrees. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest 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 servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.

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

Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
