< Psalms 123 >
1 A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.
2 See, as the eyes of servants look to their master's hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress's hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh our God until he has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.
4 We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.
