Psalm 123
New Living Translation

Psalm 123

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

1 I lift my eyes to you,
    O God, enthroned in heaven.
2 We keep looking to the Lord our God for his mercy,
    just as servants keep their eyes on their master,
    as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.
3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy,
    for we have had our fill of contempt.
4 We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud
    and the contempt of the arrogant.

Psalm 123
EasyEnglish Bible

A song to sing as we climb.

Servants of the Lord

123 I look up to you, God,
    as you rule from your throne in heaven.
2 Yes, our eyes look up to the Lord our God.
We want him to be kind to us, so we wait for his help.
    We wait like servants who want help from their master.
3 Please be kind to us, Lord. Please forgive us.
People have insulted us more and more!
4     We have had too much!
Proud people laugh at us,
    and they do not respect us.
Please stop them!

Psalm 123
New International Version

Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to you,
    to you who sit enthroned(A) in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord(B) our God,
    till he shows us his mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no end
    of ridicule from the arrogant,
    of contempt from the proud.
