Psalm 123

Prayer for the Lord’s Help.

^{Tools
1} A Song of Ascents.

To You I ^(A)lift up my eyes,
O You who ^(B)are enthroned in the heavens!

^{Tools
2}

Behold, as the eyes of ^(C)servants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our ^(D)eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious to us.

^{Tools

^(E)Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly filled ^(F)with contempt.

^{Tools
4}

Our soul is greatly filled
With the ^(G)scoffing of ^(H)those who are at ease,
And with the ^(I)contempt of the proud.
