Praying to see mercy

Psa 123:1–4

123:1 Praying to see mercy

123  A song for walking uphill to Yerushalem.

1 I look up towards you—

you who rule from your throne in the heavens.

2 Just as servants look to their master for his favour,

and the maids look to their mistress,

so we look to our god Yahweh until he has mercy on us.


3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,

because we’ve been very humiliated by our enemies—

4 in fact we’ve had way more than enough scoffing from the arrogant

and contempt from the proud.
