Psalm 123 :: New International Version (NIV)

Psa 123:1A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

Psa 123:2As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.

Psa 123:3

Psa 123:3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.

Psa 123:4

Psa 123:4We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
