Psalms 123

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

1A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

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

2Lo, as eyes of men-servants <FI>Are<Fi> unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant <FI>Are<Fi> unto the hand of her mistress, So <FI>are<Fi> our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.

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

3Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

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

4Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
