Psalm 123
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Psalm 123

Supplication for Mercy

A Song of Ascents.

1 To you I lift up my eyes,
    O you who are enthroned in the heavens!(A)
2 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 upon us.(B)

3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
    for we have had more than enough of contempt.(C)
4 Our soul has had more than its fill
    of the scorn of those who are at ease,
    of the contempt of the proud.(D)

Psalm 123
Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 123

Looking for God’s Favor

A song of ascents.

1 I lift my eyes to you,
the one enthroned in heaven.(A)
2 Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,
like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God
until he shows us favor.(B)

3 Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt.(C)
4 We’ve had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud.(D)
