Psalm 123 Prayer for Relief from Contempt

Psalm 123:1-4 Prayer for Relief from Contempt
A Song of Ascents.

Psalm 123:1-2
1 Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us.

Psalm 123:3-4
3
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.
