Psalm 123

Berean Standard Bible

I Lift Up My Eyes to You

A song of ascents.

¹ I lift up my eyes to You,

the One enthroned in heaven.

² As the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maidservant

look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes are on the LORD our God

until He shows us mercy.

³ Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy,

for we have endured much contempt.

⁴ We have endured much scorn from the arrogant,

much contempt from the proud.
