Psalm 123:1

A Prayer For Jerusalem

¹ Unto you I lift up my eyes,
O You who are enthroned in the heavens!
²
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
And as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious and favorable toward us.
