Psalm 123 Supplication for Mercy

A Song of Ascents.

¹ To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

² As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until he has mercy upon us.

³ Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.

⁴ Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.
