Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

¹⁶ I wanted to visit you on my way^(A) to Macedonia^(B) and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way^(C) to Judea.^(D)

⁵ and I answered the king, “If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.”
