Psalm 123 (WEBP)

[1] I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
[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.
[3] Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
[4] Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Young’s Literal Translation

Psalm 123 (YLT)

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