Psalms

Chapter 122

  1. 1

    Unto thee I lift up my eyes, unto thee, who dwellest in the heavens.

  2. 2

    See how the eyes of servants are fixed on the hands of their masters, the eyes of a maid on the hand of her mistress! Our eyes, too, are fixed on the Lord our God, waiting for him to shew mercy on us.

  3. 3

    Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us; we have had our fill of man’s derision.

  4. 4

    Our hearts can bear no more to be the scorn of luxury, the derision of the proud.
