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.

(Shir HaMa'alot [Song of Ascents])
1Unto Thee lift I up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in Shomayim.
2Hinei, as the eyes of avadim look unto the yad adoneihem, and as the eyes of a shifchah (maiden) unto the yad of her gevirah; so our eyes wait upon Hashem Eloheinu, until He have channun (favor, grace) upon us.
3Channenu Hashem, channenu; for we are more than sated with buz (contempt).
4Nafsheinu (our nefesh) is more than sated with the scorn of those that are at ease, and with the buz (contempt) of the g'eiyonim (proud ones, arrogant ones).
