psalm

A song for going up to worship.

123 
I look up to you,

to the one who sits enthroned in heaven.

As servants depend on their masters,

as a maid depends on her mistress,

so we depend on the Lord our God

until he has pity on us.

Have pity on us, O Lord.

Have pity on us

because we have suffered more than our share of contempt.

We have suffered more than our share of ridicule

from those who are carefree.

We have suffered more than our share of contempt

from those who are arrogant.
