The Book of Psalms

Geneva Bible 1599

- Chapter 123 -

I lift up my eyes to you

1
A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.
3
Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.
4
Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
