Psalms 123

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

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

2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah ourGod, until he be gracious unto us.

3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

3 Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

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