Psalms 123

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 A song of ascents. To you I raise my eyes, to you enthroned in heaven.	1 [Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to you who are enthroned in heaven.
2 Yes, like the eyes of a servant on the hand of his master, Like the eyes of a maid on the hand of her mistress, So our eyes are on the LORD our God, till we are shown favor.	2 Just as the eyes of slaves are on their masters' hand, or the eyes of a slave-girl on the hand of hermistress, so our eyes are on Yahweh our God, for him to take pity on us.
3 Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we have our fill of contempt.	3 Have pity on us, Yahweh, have pity, for we have had our full share of scorn,
4 We have our fill of insult from the insolent, of disdain from the arrogant.	4 more than our share of jeers from the complacent. (Scorn is for the proud.)
