Psalms 123

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

[A Song of Ascents.] To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit 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.

Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.

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

Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much 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 scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
