Prayer for Yahweh’s Action in the Face of Scorn
123 A song of ascents.a
the one enthronedb in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,c
as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to Yahweh our God,
until he is gracious to us.
3 Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us,
for long enough we have had our fill of contempt.
4 For long enough our soul has had its fill of
the derision of the self-confident,
the contempt of the arrogant.
