Psalm 123 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 123:1(LXX 122:1) A Song of Degrees. Unto thee who dwellest in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.
Psa 123:2(LXX 122:2) Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed to the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maid-servant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes are directed to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.
Psa 123:3(LXX 122:3) Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Psa 123:4(LXX 122:4) Yea, our soul has been exceedingly filled with it: [fn]let the reproach be to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
BES Footnotes
Or, we are the reproach of them that are at ease.
