Psalms 123

Prayer for Relief from Contempt

A Song of Ascents.

1 Unto YouI lift up my eyes,

# O Youwho dwell in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servantslookto the hand of their masters,

As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

# So our eyeslookto theLordour God,

Until He has mercy on us.

3 Have mercy on us, OLord, have mercy on us!

For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled

With the scorn of those who are at ease,

With the contempt of the proud.
