Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 123

I lift my eyes to You, enthroned in the heavens.

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He shows us mercy.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy, 
for we have endured much contempt.

Our souls have endured endless scorn from the arrogant, 
and contempt from the proud.
