Psalms 123

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller 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 eyes of menservants [Are] to the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] to the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, Until He favors us.

3 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly filled with contempt,

4 Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

Our soul has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
