Psalms 123
1 I lift up my eyes to you, 1 to you whose throne is in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, 2 as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, 2 so our eyes look to the Lord our God, 2 till he shows us his mercy.
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, 3 for we have endured much contempt.
4 We have endured much ridicule from the proud, 4 much contempt from the arrogant.
