Psalms 123

123

A song for going up to the Temple.[601]

<1> God, I look up and pray to you.

You sit as King in heaven.

<2> Slaves depend on their masters

for what they need.

In the same way, we depend on the Lord our God.

We wait for him to show mercy to us.

<3> Lord, be merciful to us,

because we have been insulted much too long.

<4> We have had enough of the hateful words and insults of those proud, arrogant people.
