*Psalms 123
Lord, please have mercy on us
This is a song for people going to the temple.
1Lord, I look up to You where
You sit on your throne in heaven.
2Yes, we look at the Lord our God
like slaves look at their owners,
like a slave girl looks at the woman
to whom she belongs.
We look up to the Lord and wait for Him
to have mercy on us.
3Lord, please have mercy on us,
and be gracious to us,
because people have laughed at us
for too long.
4Those proud people have mocked
and humiliated us for too long.
