Psalm 123
A Song of Ascents.
1 I
lift up my
eyes to you,
you who sit
in the heavens.
2 Behold,
as the eyes
of servants look
to the hand
of their master,
as the eyes
of a maid
to the hand
of her mistress,
so our eyes
look to the
LORD, our God,
until he has
mercy on us.
3 Have
mercy on us,
LORD, have mercy
on us,
for we
have endured much contempt.
4 Our soul
is exceedingly
filled with the
scoffing of those
who are at
ease,
with the contempt
of the proud.
