Day 27 — Psalm 123

HEBREW

PSALM 123

Prayer of the distressed

Song of Ascents.

I lift my eyes to You,

to You who have Your home in heaven,

eyes like the eyes of slaves

fixed on their master's hand;

like the eyes of a slave girl

fixed on the hands of her mistress,

so our eyes are fixed on Yahweh our God,

for Him to take pity on us;

pity us, Yahweh, take pity on us,

we have had more than our share of scorn,

more than our share

of jeers from the complacent,

of scorn from the proud.
