Psalm 123

• Read my Psalm 123 Meditation: Looking Up the Steps
• Read my Psalm 123 poem from A New Song.

A Song of Ascents.
 To you I lift up my eyes, 
     O you who are enthroned in the heavens! 
 Behold, as the eyes of servants 
     look to the hand of their master, 
     as the eyes of a maidservant 
     to the hand of her mistress, 
     so our eyes look to the Lord our God, 
     till he has mercy upon us. 
 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, 
     for we have had more than enough of contempt. 
 Our soul has had more than enough 
     of the scorn of those who are at ease, 
     of the contempt of the proud.
