Psalm 123

A song for going up to worship.

I look up to you,
    to the one who sits enthroned in heaven.
As servants depend on their masters,
    as a maid depends on her mistress,
    so we depend on Yahweh our Elohim
        until he has pity on us.
Have pity on us, O Yahweh.
    Have pity on us
    because we have suffered more than our share of contempt.

Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to you,
    to you who sit enthroned(A) in heaven.
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 the Lord(B) our God,
    till he shows us his mercy.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured no end of contempt.
