Psalm 123 (New American Standard Bible)

Psalm 123

Prayer for the LORD'S Help.

A Song of Ascents.

    ¹To You I ^(A)lift up my eyes,
         O You who ^(B)are enthroned in the heavens!
    ²Behold, as the eyes of ^(C)servants look to the hand of their master,
         As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
         So our ^(D)eyes look to the LORD our God,
         Until He is gracious to us.
    ^3(E)Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us,
         For we are greatly filled ^(F)with contempt.
    ⁴Our soul is greatly filled
         With the ^(G)scoffing of ^(H)those who are at ease,
         And with the ^(I)contempt of the proud.
