< Psalms 123 >

1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.
A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.
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.
See, as the eyes of servants look to their master's hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress's hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh our God until he has mercy on us.
3 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.
Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.
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.
We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.
