PSALM 123
Supplication for Mercy
A Song of Ascents.
123
To thee I lift up my eyes,
O thou who art enthroned in the heavens!
2
Behold, 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,
till he have mercy upon us.
3
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4
Too long our soul has been sated
with the scorn of those who are at ease, the contempt of the proud.
