Psalm 123

Legacy Standard Bible

To You I Lift Up My Eyes

A Song of Ascents.

123 To You I ^(A)lift up my eyes,
The One ^(B)enthroned in the heavens!
²Behold, as the eyes of ^(C)slaves look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a servant-girl to the hand of her mistress,
So our ^(D)eyes look to Yahweh our God,
Until He is gracious to us.

³^(E)Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly saturated ^(F)with contempt.
⁴Our soul is greatly saturated
With the ^(G)mockery of ^(H)those who are at ease,
And with the ^(I)contempt of the proud.

Psalm 123

Common English Bible

Psalm 123

A pilgrimage song.

123 I raise my eyes to you—
    you who rule heaven.
²Just as the eyes of servants attend to their masters’ hand,
    just as the eyes of a female servant attend to her mistress’ hand—
    that’s how our eyes attend to the Lord our God
    until he has mercy on us.

³Have mercy on us, Lord! Have mercy
because we’ve had more than enough shame.
⁴We’ve had more than enough mockery from the self-confident,
more than enough shame from the proud.
