Psalms 123

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NEW JERUSALEM
1 A Song of Ascents. To thee I lift up my eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens!	1 [Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to you who are enthroned in heaven.
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 the LORD our God, till he have mercy upon us.	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 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.	3 Have pity on us, Yahweh, have pity, for we have had our full share of scorn,
4 Too long our soul has been sated with the scorn of those who are at ease, the contempt of the proud.	4 more than our share of jeers from the complacent. (Scorn is for the proud.)
