Psalm 123

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. 1I lift my eyes to you,O God, enthroned in heaven. 2 We keep looking to the LORD our God for his mercy,just as servants keep their eyes on their master,as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal. 3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy,for we have had our fill of contempt. 4 We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proudand the contempt of the arrogant.
