Psalms 123

Psalm 123

Looking for God’s Favor

A song of ascents.

1I lift my eyes to you,

the one enthroned in heaven.

2Like 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.

3Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,

for we’ve had more than enough contempt.

4We’ve had more than enough

scorn from the arrogant

and contempt from the proud.
