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.

Psalms 123
123
Looking for God’s Favor
A song of ascents.
1I lift my eyes to You,
the One enthroned in heaven. # Ps 2:4; 121:1; 141:8
2Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,
like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God
until He shows us favor. # Ps 25:15
3Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt. # Neh 4:4; Ps 4:1; 119:22
4We’ve had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud. # Is 32:9,11; Am 6:1
