Psalm 123

1 A Song of the Ascents. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> Unto You I lift up my eyes, [to] the One sitting in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [are] to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maidservant [are] to the hand of her mistress, so [are] our eyes to YHWH our God, until He shows us mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, O YHWH, Have mercy on us! For we are filled exceedingly with contempt.

4 Exceedingly our soul has been filled with the scorn of those at ease, with the contempt of the prideful ones.
