Psalm 123 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 123

A Song of Ascents

¹ O thou that dwellest in the heav'ns, I lift mine eyes to thee.

² Behold, as servants' eyes do look their masters' hand to see, As handmaid's eyes her mistress' hand; so do our eyes attend Upon the Lord our God, until to us he mercy send.

³ O Lord, be gracious to us, unto us gracious be; Because replenish'd with contempt exceedingly are we.

⁴ Our soul is fill'd with scorn of those that at their ease abide, And with the insolent contempt of those that swell in pride.
