Psalms 123

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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