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 the Ascents. 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.

A Prayer for Mercy Amidst Contempt

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!
