Psalms 123

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

 123:1 ¶ [[A Song of Ascents.]] Unto thee, have I lifted up mine eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens.

 123:2 Lo! as the eyes of men-servants are unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid-servant, unto the hand of her mistress, so, are our eyes, unto Yahweh our God, until that he show us favour.

 123:3 Show us favour, O Yahweh, show us favour, for, exceedingly, are we sated with contempt:

 123:4 Exceeding sated therewith, is our soul,—The scorn of the careless, The contempt of the proud.
