<< PSALM CXXIII. >>
A Song of Ascents.
1. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens. 2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hands of her mistress; So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us. 3. Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4. Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.

3. Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4. Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
1-4. (Prayer) to the Father to be present, because He has been utterly rejected by the Jewish nation. P. P.
