Psalms 123

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

A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller 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.

Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.

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

Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with 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.

Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
