Psalms 123

1 A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.

UNTO thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest 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.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.

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