123:1
A Song[H7892] of degrees[H4609]. Unto thee lift I up[H5375] mine eyes[H5869], O thou that dwellest[H3427] in the heavens[H8064].
123:2
Behold, as the eyes[H5869] of servants[H5650] look unto the hand[H3027] of their masters[H113], and as the eyes of a maiden[H8198] unto the hand of her mistress[H1404]; so our eyes wait upon the LORD[H3068] our God[H430], until that he have mercy[H2603] upon us.
123:3
Have mercy[H2603] upon us, O LORD[H3068], have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly[H7227]filled[H7646] with contempt[H937].
123:4
Our soul[H5315] is exceedingly[H7227]filled[H7646] with the scorning[H3933] of those that are at ease[H7600], and with the contempt[H937] of the proud[H3238].
