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
A song for going up to the Temple.
1Lord, I look up and pray to you.
You sit as King in heaven.
2A slave looks to his master to provide what he needs,
and a servant girl depends on the woman she serves.
So we depend on the Lord our God,
waiting for him to have mercy on us.
3Lord, be merciful to us,
because we have been insulted much too long.
4We have had enough of the hateful words of those proud people
who make fun of us and show us no respect.
