A Song of Ascents.

123:1 To you I do lift up my eyes,

you who sit in the heavens.

123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress;

so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God,

until he has mercy on us.

123:3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,

for we have endured much contempt.

123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,

with the contempt of the proud.
