Psalm

123 To you I raise my eyes,+

You who are enthroned in the heavens.

 2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,

And the eyes of a servant girl to the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to Jehovah our God+

Until he shows us favor.+

 3 Show us favor, O Jehovah, show us favor,

For we have had our full share of contempt.+

 4 We have had our full share of* ridicule from the self-assured

And the contempt of the arrogant.
