123:1
[Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to you who are enthroned in heaven.
123:2
Just as the eyes of slaves are on their masters' hand, or the eyes of a slave-girl on the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on Yahweh our God, for him to take pity on us.
123:3
Have pity on us, Yahweh, have pity, for we have had our full share of scorn,
123:4
more than our share of jeers from the complacent. (Scorn is for the proud.)
