Psalm 123: I lift up my eyes to you

I lift up my eyes to you,

To you whose throne is in heaven.

As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,

As the eyes of a maid looks to the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to the LORD our God,

So our eyes look to the LORD our God

Till he shows us his mercy.

Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us,

For we have endured much contempt.

We have endured much ridicule from the proud,

Much contempt from the arrogant.

Have mercy on us, O LORD,

Have mercy on us,

For we have endured much contempt.

For we have endured much ridicule from the proud,

Much contempt from the arrogant.

Have mercy on us, O LORD,

Have mercy on us,

For we have endured much contempt.

We have endured much ridicule from the proud,

Much contempt from the arrogant.
