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.
