Psalms 123

Psalm 123 ESV

1The godly profess their confidence in God, 3and pray to be delivered from contempt.
A Song of 1Ascents.
1 To you I 1lift up my eyes, O you who are 2enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us.
3 1Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of 2contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enough of 1the scorn of 2those who are at ease, of the contempt of 3the proud.
