Prayer for the Lords Help.

A Song of Ascents.

123 To You I have (A)raised my eyes,
You who (B)are enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of (C)servants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a female servant to the hand of her mistress,
So our (D)eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious to us.

(E)Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us,
For we have had much more than enough of (F)contempt.
Our soul has had much more than enough
Of the (G)scoffing of (H)those who are at ease,
And with the (I)contempt of the proud.

Psalm 123

A song for going up to worship.

I look up to you,
    to the one who sits enthroned in heaven.
As servants depend on their masters,
    as a maid depends on her mistress,
    so we depend on Yahweh our Elohim
        until he has pity on us.
Have pity on us, O Yahweh.
    Have pity on us
    because we have suffered more than our share of contempt.
We have suffered more than our share of ridicule
    from those who are carefree.
    We have suffered more than our share of contempt
    from those who are arrogant.
