Psalm 123

Supplication for Mercy

A Song of Ascents.

¹To you I lift up my eyes,
    O you who are enthroned in the heavens!^(A)
²As 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)

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

Psalm 123

The Message

123 ^1-4I look to you, heaven-dwelling God,
    look up to you for help.
Like servants, alert to their master’s commands,
    like a maiden attending her lady,
We’re watching and waiting, holding our breath,
    awaiting your word of mercy.
Mercy, God, mercy!
    We’ve been kicked around long enough,
Kicked in the teeth by complacent rich men,
    kicked when we’re down by arrogant brutes.

Psalm 123

Good News Translation

A Prayer for Mercy

123 Lord, I look up to you,
    up to heaven, where you rule.
²As a servant depends on his master,
    as a maid depends on her mistress,
so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God,
    until you have mercy on us.

³Be merciful to us, Lord, be merciful;
we have been treated with so much contempt.
⁴We have been mocked too long by the rich
and scorned by proud oppressors.
