Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

The future proves the past.

Psalm 123

Supplication for Mercy

A Song of Ascents.

123 To thee I lift up my eyes,

O thou who art enthroned in the heavens!

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maid

to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes look to the Lord our God,

till he have mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,

for we have had more than enough of contempt.

4 Too long our soul has been sated

with the scorn of those who are at ease,

the contempt of the proud.
