Psalm 123

¹I lift up my eyes to You,

the One enthroned in heaven.

²As the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maidservant

look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes are on the LORD our God

until He shows us mercy.

³Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy,

for we have endured much contempt.

⁴We have endured much scorn from the arrogant,

much contempt from the proud.

— Psalm 123
