Psalm 123:3

Looking For God's Favor

² Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are directed to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us. ³ Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. ⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

For Us

Have Mercy

Be Gracious

Jehovah
