Psalm 123

GOD’S WORD Translation

A song for going up to worship.

123 I look up to you,
to the one who sits enthroned in heaven.
²As servants depend on their masters,
as a maid depends on her mistress,
so we depend on the Lord our God
until he has pity on us.
³Have pity on us, O Lord.
Have pity on us
because we have suffered more than our share of contempt.
⁴We have suffered more than our share of ridicule
from those who are carefree.
We have suffered more than our share of contempt
from those who are arrogant.
