Psalm 123

New Coverdale Version

Unto you I lift up my eyes, * you who are enthroned in the heavens.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, * and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress,

Even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, * until he show us his favor.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, * for we have suffered more than enough contempt.

Long has our soul suffered the scorn of the wealthy * and the spitefulness of the proud.
