Psalm 123

¹I raise my eyes to you—

you who rule heaven.

²Just as the eyes of servants attend to their masters’ hand,

just as the eyes of a female servant attend to her mistress’ hand—

that’s how our eyes attend to the LORD our God

until he has mercy on us.

³Have mercy on us, LORD ! Have mercy

because we’ve had more than enough shame.

⁴We’ve had more than enough mockery from the self-confident,

more than enough shame from the proud.
