Psalm 122   * 1  2  3  4  *  Psalm 124


   Prayer for mercy.
   A Song of degrees.
   1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
   
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
   
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
   
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
