Psalm 123 - A Song of degrees

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O
thou that dwellest in the heavens.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto
the hand of their masters, and as the

eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her
mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord

our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord,
have mercy upon us: for we are

exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with
the scorning of those that are at ease,

and with the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 124 - A Song of degrees of David

If it had not been the Lord who was
on our side, now may Israel say;

If it had not been the Lord who was on
our side, when men rose up against us:

Then they had swallowed us up quick,
when their wrath was kindled against us:

Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
the stream had gone over our soul:

Then the proud waters
had gone over our soul.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not
given us as a prey to their teeth.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out
of the snare of the fowlers: the

snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Our help is in the name of the
Lord, who made heaven and earth.
