Psalms 123

1 A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon YHWH our Elohim, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Have mercy upon us, O YHWH, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 [Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
