Psalms 123

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

A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.

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 [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

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

Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon 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.

[Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
