Chapter 123
1 I lift up my eyes to you , you who sit in the heavens .
2 Behold , as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress , so our eyes look to the LORD , our God , until he has mercy on us .
3 Have mercy on us , LORD , have mercy on us , for we have endured much contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease , with the contempt of the proud .
