Psalm 123
A song for going up to worship.
1I look up to you,
to the one who sits enthroned in heaven.
2As servants depend on their masters,
as a maid depends on her mistress,
so we depend on the Lord our God
until he has pity on us.
3Have pity on us, O Lord.
Have pity on us
because we have suffered more than our share of contempt.
4We have suffered more than our share of ridicule
from those who are carefree.
We have suffered more than our share of contempt
from those who are arrogant.

Psalms 123
123
Looking for God’s Favor
A song of ascents.
1I lift my eyes to You,
the One enthroned in heaven. # Ps 2:4; 121:1; 141:8
2Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,
like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God
until He shows us favor. # Ps 25:15
3Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt. # Neh 4:4; Ps 4:1; 119:22
4We’ve had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud. # Is 32:9,11; Am 6:1
