Psalm 123

¹ O thou that sittest in the heav’ns,

I lift mine eyes to thee.

² Lo, as the servant’s eyes unto

hand of their masters be:

as maid’s eyes to her mistress’ hand,

so are our eyes unto

the Lord our God, until that he

shall mercy to us show.

³ O Lord, be merciful to us,

merciful to us be:

because that filled with contempt

exceedingly are we.

⁴ With scorn of those that be at ease,

our soul’s fill’d very much:

also of those that great ones are,

ev’n with contempt of such.
