152) Psalm 123

Psalm 123 A Song of degrees

8.6.8.6 1 O thou that dwellest in the heav’ns, I lift mine eyes to thee.

2 Behold, as servants’ eyes do look their masters’ hand to see, As handmaid’s eyes her mistress’ hand; so do our eyes attend Upon the Lord our God, until to us he mercy send.

3 O Lord, be gracious to us, unto us gracious be;

Because replenish’d with contempt exceedingly are we.

4 Our soul is fill’d with scorn of those that at their ease abide, And with the insolent contempt of those that swell in pride.
