The Holy Bible

King James Version

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 123

  

A Prayer for Mercy

A Song of degrees.

1Unto thee lift I up mine eyes,
O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

  2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God,
until that he have mercy upon us.   3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us:
for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4 Our soul is exceedingly filled
with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
