Psalms 123
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.

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.
