Psalms 123

Reliance on the Lord

¹A song of ascents.

To you I raise my eyes,

to you enthroned in heaven.

²Yes, like the eyes of servants

on the hand of their masters,

Like the eyes of a maid

on the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes are on the Lord our God,

till we are shown favor.

³Show us favor, Lord , show us favor,

for we have our fill of contempt.

⁴Our souls are more than sated

with mockery from the insolent,

with contempt from the arrogant.
