A Song of Ascents.

123 I lift up my eyes to you,
    you who sit in the heavens.
Behold, 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 Yahweh, our God,
    until he has mercy on us.
Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured much contempt.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,
    with the contempt of the proud.

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.
