123:1 A song for those journeying to worship. I raise my eyes to fix my gaze on You, for Your throne resides in the heavens.
123:2 Just as the eyes of servants closely watch the hand of their masters, Just as a maid carefully observes the slightest gesture of her mistress, In the same way we look to You, Eternal One, waiting for our God to pour out His mercy upon us.
123:3 O Eternal One, show us Your mercy. We beg You. We are not strangers to contempt and pain.
123:4 We have suffered more than our share of ridicule and contempt from self-appointed critics who live easy lives and pompously display their own importance.
