Psalm 123 – A Prayer for Relief
To you, who sit enthroned in heaven, I lift up my eyes. Consider this: as the eyes of a servant focus on what his master provides, and as the eyes of a female servant focus on what her mistress provides, so our eyes focus on the Lord our God, until he has mercy on us.
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt. Our lives overflow with scorn from those who live at ease, with contempt from those who are proud.
