Psalm 123

[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.
