Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.

Behold, as eyes of menservants [Are] to the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] to the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, Until He favors us.

3 Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.

Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly filled with contempt,

4 Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.

Our soul has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
