Psalms 123
123
Supplication for Mercy
A Song of Ascents.
1To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
2As 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,
until he has mercy upon us.
3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4Our soul has had more than its fill
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
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.
