Psalm 123

I Lift Up My Eyes to You

¹A Song of the Ascents. Unto You I lift up my eyes, to the One sitting in the heavens.

²Behold, as the eyes of servants are to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maidservant are to the hand of her mistress, so are our eyes to YHWH our God, until He shows us mercy.

³Have mercy on us, O YHWH, Have mercy on us! For we are filled exceedingly with contempt.

⁴Exceedingly our soul has been filled with the scorn of those at ease, with the contempt of the prideful ones.
