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)
