Psalm 123

    A song of ascents. ¹ I lift up my eyes to you,
   to you whose throne is in heaven.
² As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
   as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
   till he shows us his mercy.
 ³ Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us,
   for we have endured much contempt.
⁴ We have endured much ridicule from the proud,
   much contempt from the arrogant.
