Psalms 123

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
