Psalms 123

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller 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 eyes of menservants [Are] to the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] to the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, Until He favors us.

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

Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly 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 has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
