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.
Darby Translation
Psalms 123
1A Song of degrees. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. 2Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah ourGod, until he be gracious unto us. 3Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
