Psalms 123




1.  <<A Song of degrees.>> Unto thee lift I up * mine eyes, O thou that dwellest * in the heavens.

2.  Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy * upon us.

3.  Have mercy * upon us, O LORD, have mercy * upon us: for we are exceedingly filled * with contempt.

4.  Our soul is exceedingly filled * with the scorning of those that are at ease,and with the contempt of the proud * .
