Psalms
Chapter 123World English Bible
Berean Standard Bible
1I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.
As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.
3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
