Psalms 123

1 I lifted my eyes to you, the one who lives in heaven.

2 See, as slaves’ eyes look to their masters’ hands, and as a female slave’s eyes look to her mistress’s hands, so our eyes look to the Lord our God until he has compassion on us.

3 Have mercy on us, Lord; have mercy on us, because we have been filled beyond measure with contempt.

4 Our soul has been filled even more. Let reproach fall on those who prosper, and contempt on the proud.
