The Psalms

Psalm 123

A Song of Ascents.

 ^123:1Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes,

 O thou that sittest in the heavens.

 ^123:2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master,

 As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress;

 So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God,

 Until he have mercy upon us.

 ^123:3Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us;

 For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

 ^123:4Our soul is exceedingly filled

 With the scoffing of those that are at ease,

 And with the contempt of the proud.
