< Psalms 123 >

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.
2 Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.
3 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.
4 Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
