Psalms 123

Prayer for Yahweh’s Action in the Face of Scorn

1I lift up my eyes to you,

the one enthroned in the heavens.

2Behold, 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 Yahweh our God,

until he is gracious to us.

3Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us,

for long enough we have had our fill of contempt.

4For long enough our soul has had its fill of

the derision of the self-confident,

the contempt of the arrogant.
