Psalm 123

The Eyes of a Servant

Heading
A song of the ascents.

The Eyes of a Servant

To you I lift up my eyes,
to you who are seated in heaven.
Indeed, 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, until he shows us his grace.
Show grace to us, O Lord.
Show grace to us,
for we have had our fill of contempt.
Our souls have had their fill of the scorn of the smug
and of the contempt of the arrogant.
