- Chapter 123 -

I lift up my eyes to you

A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.

See, as the eyes of servants look to their master’s hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress’s hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh our God until he has mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.

We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.

I lift up my eyes to you

I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

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.

Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
