Psalms123

The psalmist lifts his eyes to the Lord, who dwells in the heavens, seeking divine intervention. He likens this earnest gaze to servants awaiting their masters' commands, expressing a deep longing for God's mercy. The plea for mercy is urgent, as the people are overwhelmed by the scorn and contempt of the proud and those at ease.

Looking Up to the Lord in Heaven

1
A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.

A Prayer for Mercy Amidst Contempt

3
Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.
4
Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
