Psalms 123

1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.

A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.

2 Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to us.

Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.

3 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.

Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.

4 Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.

Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
