Psalms 123

Psalms · Thomson 1808 · public domain

1TO Thee Who dwellest in heaven, I have raised mine eyes.

2Behold! as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters—as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress, so are our eyes on the Lord our God, till He be gracious to us.

3Have mercy on us, O Lord; have mercy on us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4Our soul is filled exceedingly—we are the scoff of the prosperous and the contempt of the haughty.
