Psalms 123:1


Psalms 122:9 Psalms 123:1 (KJV) Psalms 123:2
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
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.
