Psalm 123

Psalm 123 in the World English Bible (WEB), a public domain modern English update of the American Standard Version of 1901. It gives God's personal name as "Yahweh" twice in this chapter, where the Berean Standard Bible prints LORD.

1

A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

2

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.

3

Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

4

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
