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.

Psalm 123
123
Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents.
1To you I #Ps. 121:1; [Ps. 141:8]; See Ps. 25:15 lift up my eyes,
O you who are #See Ps. 2:4enthroned in the heavens!
2Behold, 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 #
Ps. 4:1 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of #[Neh. 4:4]contempt.
4Our soul has had more than enough
of #[Neh. 2:19] the scorn of #Isa. 32:9, 11; Amos 6:1 those who are at ease,
of the contempt of #See Ps. 119:51the proud.
