- Chapter 123 -

I lift up my eyes to you

1
To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
2
Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
3
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
4
For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

I lift up my eyes to you

1
I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.
3
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
