123:1 [A Song of Ascents.]
To You I have raised my eyes,
You who are enthroned in the heavens!
123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a female servant to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the LORD our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
123:3 Be gracious to us, LORD, be gracious to us,
For we have had much more than enough of contempt.
123:4 Our soul has had much more than enough
Of the scoffing of those who are at ease,
And with the contempt of the proud.
