Psalms 123
123
A Prayer for Mercy
1 LORD, I look up to you,
up to heaven, where you rule.
2As a servant depends on his master,
as a maid depends on her mistress,
so we will keep looking to you, O LORD our God,
until you have mercy on us.
3Be merciful to us, LORD, be merciful;
we have been treated with so much contempt.
4We have been mocked too long by the rich
and scorned by proud oppressors.

Psalms 123
123
Prayer for Relief from Contempt
A Song of Ascents.
1Unto You #Neh. 2:10; Esth. 10:3I lift up my eyes,
O You #Ps. 121:1; 141:8who dwell in the heavens.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
#Ps. 2:4; 11:4; 115:3So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us.
3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.
