Psalm 123

1. (0) A song of ascents: 1 (1) I raise my eyes to you, 1 whose throne is in heaven.

2. As a servant looks to the hand of his master, 2 or a slave-girl to the hand of her mistress, 2 so our eyes turn to Adonai our God, 2 until he has mercy on us.

3. Have mercy on us, Adonai, have mercy; 3 for we have had our fill of contempt,

4. more than our fill of scorn from the complacent 4 and contempt from the arrogant.
