Psalms 123

An expectant prayer for Jehovah’s help.

A Song of Ascents.

¹Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

²Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

³Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

⁴Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
