PSALM 123
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Song of Ascents
1O thou that dwellest in the heav'ns,
I lift mine eyes to thee.
2Behold, as servants' eyes do look
their masters' hand to see,
As handmaid's eyes her mistress' hand;
so do our eyes attend
Upon the Lord our God, until
to us he mercy send.
3O Lord, be gracious to us,
unto us gracious be;
Because replenish'd with contempt
exceedingly are we.
4Our soul is fill'd with scorn of those
that at their ease abide,
And with the insolent contempt
of those that swell in pride.

Psalms 123
123
A Song of the Ascents.
1Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
2Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
3Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
4Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
