PSALM 123 [†] To you I  q lift up my eyes,

O you who are  r enthroned in the heavens!

2[^] Behold, 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[†]  s Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us,

for we have had more than enough of  t contempt.

4 Our soul has had more than enough

of  u the scorn of  v those who are at ease,

of the contempt of  w the proud.

A Song of  m Ascents. Of David.
