Psalm 123
World English Bible

A Song of Ascents.

123 I lift up my eyes to you,
    you who sit in the heavens.
2 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.
3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured much contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,
    with the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 123

Supplication for Mercy

A Song of Ascents.

1 To you I lift up my eyes,
    O you who are enthroned in the heavens!(A)
2 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 the Lord our God,
    until he has mercy upon us.(B)

3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
    for we have had more than enough of contempt.(C)
4 Our soul has had more than its fill
    of the scorn of those who are at ease,
    of the contempt of the proud.(D)
