Psalm 123
A brief Song of Ascents looking up to God in heaven. Like servants looking to their master's hand, the pilgrims look to God for mercy. They have endured too much contempt from the arrogant.

If God speaks to you through Psalm 123, record what He said in Doxa and come back to it.
A song of ascents.
I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
As 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.
Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
