Psalm 123
1
Psalm 123 A song of ascents.
1
I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven.
2
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.
3
Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
4
We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.
