1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 123

1 The godly profess their confidence in God, 3 and pray to be delivered from contempt.

 123:1 ¶ [[A Song of Ascents.]] Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

 123:3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

 123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
