Psalms 123

Psalm 123
A Song of degrees.
1¶ Unto thee I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2Behold, as the eyes of slaves look unto the hand of their masters and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until he shall have mercy upon us.
3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we are exceedingly weary of being held in contempt.
4Our soul is exceedingly weary of the scorning of those that are at ease and of the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 123
123
1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:
2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,
3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,
4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.
5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
