Psalm 123 (Common English Bible): 21st Century translation (2011)

A pilgrimage song / / /
I raise my eyes to you --
you who rule heaven.
Just as the eyes of servants attend to their masters' hand,
just as the eyes of a female servant
attends to her mistress' hand --
that's how our eyes attend to the LORD our God
until he has mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, LORD!  Have mercy
because we've had more than enough shame.
We've had more than enough mockery
from the self-confident,
more than enough shame from the proud.
