123 I lift up my eyes to you,
the one enthroned^[b] in the heavens.
² Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,^[c]
as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to Yahweh our God,
until he is gracious to us.
³ Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us,
for long enough we have had our fill of contempt.
⁴ For long enough our soul has had its fill of
the derision of the self-confident,
the contempt of the arrogant.
