Psalm 123
New International Version

### Psalm 123

#### A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to you,
to you who sit enthroned(A)in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to theLord(B)our God,
till he shows us his mercy.

3 Have mercy on us,Lord, have mercy on us,
for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no end
of ridicule from the arrogant,
of contempt from the proud.
