Psalm 123:1-4

A Song of Ascents. 123  Unto thee have I lifted up mine eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens.  Lo! as the eyes of men-servants are unto the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid-servant unto the hand of her mistress So are our eyes unto Yahweh our God, Until that he shew us favour.  Shew us favour, O Yahweh, shew us favour, For exceedingly are we sated with contempt:  Exceeding sated therewith is our soul,—The scorn of the careless, The contempt of the proud.
