Psalms 123
Psalms 123
1 I lift my eyes to you, the one enthroned in heaven.
2 Like a servant's eyes on his master's hand, like a servant girl's eyes on her mistress's hand, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until he shows us favor.
3 Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt.
4 We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.
Summary: Looking to God for Mercy
As servants look to their master's hand, the psalmist lifts his eyes to God, pleading for mercy amid contempt.
