Psalm 122 [123]

(123) A Song of Degrees.

1To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up my eyes.

2Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed to the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes are directed to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

3Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4Yes, our soul has been exceedingly filled with it: 1 let the reproach be to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.

  1. Or, we are the reproach of them that are at ease.
