Psalm 123

Psalm 123

1. A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. 1 1 I lift my eyes to you, 1 O God, enthroned in heaven.

2. We keep looking to the Lord our God for his mercy, 2 just as servants keep their eyes on their master, 2 as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.

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

4. We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud 4 and the contempt of the arrogant.
