Psalms 123

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest 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 unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that 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 are exceedingly filled with contempt.	3 Have pity on us, Yahweh, have pity, for we have had our full share of scorn,
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.	4 more than our share of jeers from the complacent. (Scorn is for the proud.)
