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.

123
Reliance on the Lord
1A song of ascents.
To you I raise my eyes,
to you enthroned in heaven.#Ps 25:15; 119:82; 141:8.
2Yes, like the eyes of servants
on the hand of their masters,
Like the eyes of a maid
on the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes are on the Lord our God,
till we are shown favor.
3Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we have our fill of contempt.#Ps 44:13–14; Jb 12:4.
4Our souls are more than sated
with mockery from the insolent,
with contempt from the arrogant.
