1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 123

1 The godly profess their confidence in God, 3 and pray to be delivered from contempt.

 123:1 ¶ [[A Song of degrees.]] Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.

 123:3 Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

 123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
