Psalm 123 | English Standard Version

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

1 A Song of Ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! 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. 4 Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.

En bön om barmhärtighet

1 Gud, jag lyfter min blick upp till dig, till dig som sitter på tronen i himlen. 2 På samma sätt som en tjänare förväntansfullt ser sin herre, eller som en slavflicka betraktar sin husfru och lägger märke till minsta vink, så ser vi på dig, vår Gud. 3 Visa oss barmhärtighet, Herre, visa oss barmhärtighet! Vi har mött tillräckligt med förakt och hån från de rika och självsäkra.
