- Chapter 123 -

I lift up my eyes to you

1
I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
2
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.
3
Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
4
We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.

I lift up my eyes to you

1
I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
2
Behold, 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.
3
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
