Psalms 123
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Ref A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
2 Ref Lo, as eyes of men-servants `Are' unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant `Are' unto the hand of her mistress, So `are' our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
3 Ref Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
4 Ref Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

1 Ref > To you I do lift up my eyes, You who sit in the heavens.
2 Ref 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 Ref Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, For we have endured much contempt.
4 Ref Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.
