Psalm 123

Psalm 123 ¹ A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the LORD . I look up and pray to you. Your throne is in heaven.

² Slaves depend on their masters. A female slave depends on the woman she works for. In the same way, we depend on the LORD our God. We wait for him to have mercy on us.

³ LORD, have mercy on us. Have mercy on us, because people haven’t stopped making fun of us. ⁴ We have had to put up with a lot from those who are proud. They were always laughing at us.
