Psalm 123

¹To you I lift up my eyes, *to you enthroned in the heavens.

²As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, *and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

³So our eyes look to the Lord our God, *until he show us his mercy.

⁴Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy, *for we have had more than enough of contempt,

⁵Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, *and of the derision of the proud.
