Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American Standard Version
Psalms 123
1A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens. 2Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us. 3Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
