Psalm 123

English Standard Version

from Crossway

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

A Song of Ascents.

1 To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! (Ps 2:4; Ps 121:1; Ps 141:8) 

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he has mercy upon us. 

3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. (Ne 4:4; Ps 4:1) 

4 Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. (Ne 2:19; Ps 119:51; Isa 32:9; Isa 32:11; Am 6:1)

Psalm 123

Louis Segond 1910

1 Cantique des degrés, Je lève mes yeux vers toi, Qui sièges dans les cieux. 

2 Voici, comme les yeux des serviteurs sont fixés sur la main de leurs maîtres, Et les yeux de la servante sur la main de sa maîtresse, Ainsi nos yeux se tournent vers l'Éternel, notre Dieu, Jusqu'à ce qu'il ait pitié de nous. 

3 Aie pitié de nous, Éternel, aie pitié de nous! Car nous sommes assez rassasiés de mépris; 

4 Notre âme est assez rassasiée Des moqueries des orgueilleux, du mépris des hautains.
