NIV
Psalms 123
- 1<pb/><e>A song of ascents.</e> <pb/><t>I lift up my eyes to you,</t> <t>to you who sit enthroned in heaven.</t>
- 2<t>As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,</t> <t>as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,</t> <t>so our eyes look to the LORD our God,</t> <t>till he shows us his mercy. <pb/></t>
- 3<t>Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us,</t> <t>for we have endured no end of contempt.</t>
- 4<t>We have endured no end</t> <t>of ridicule from the arrogant,</t> <t>of contempt from the proud.</t>
