Psalm 123

I Lift Up My Eyes to You

A song of ascents.

1I lift up my eyes to You,

the One enthroned in heaven.

2As the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maidservant

look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes are on the LORD our God

until He shows us mercy.

3Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy,

for we have endured much contempt.

4We have endured much scorn from the arrogant,

much contempt from the proud.
