Psalm 123 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Unto you I lift up my eyes, *

you who are enthroned in the heavens.

2

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, *

and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress,

3

Even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, *

until he show us his favor.

4

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, *

for we have suffered more than enough contempt.

5

Long has our soul suffered the scorn of the wealthy *

and the spitefulness of the proud.
