Psalms 123:3

Read in context

Psalms 123:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.

4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
