Psalms 123
I Lift Up My Eyes to You
1A Song of the Ascents. To You I have lifted up my eyes, You who sit enthroned in the heavens.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so are our eyes to the LORD our God, until He is gracious to us.
3Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us, for greatly are we sated with contempt.
4Greatly has our soula been sated with the mocking of those at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
