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.
Geneva Bible 1599
Psalms 123
1A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens. 2Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs. 3Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt. 4Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
