Psalms 123

¹Lord, I look up and pray to you.

You sit as King in heaven.

²A slave looks to his master to provide what he needs,

and a servant girl depends on the woman she serves.

So we depend on the Lord our God,

waiting for him to have mercy on us.

³Lord , be merciful to us,

because we have been insulted much too long.

⁴We have had enough of the hateful words of those proud people

who make fun of us and show us no respect.
