Psalm 123 - Modern English Version

A Song of Ascents.

¹ Unto You do I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens.

² Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until He has mercy upon us.

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

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