Psalms 123
The godly profess their confidence in God,
Psalms 123:1 {The songe of the steares.} Vnto the lyft I vp mine eies, thou that dwelleste in the heauens. Psalms 123:2 Beholde euen, as the eyes of seruauntes loke vnto the handes of their maysters: and as the eyes of a maiden vnto the handes of her mastresse, euen so oure eyes wayte vpon the Lorde our God vntylll he haue mercy vpon vs.
and pray to be delivered from contempt.
Psalms 123:3 Haue mercy vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercy vpon vs, for we are vtterly despysed. Psalms 123:4 Our soule is filled with the scornefull reprofe of the welthy, and wyth the despitefulnes of the proude.
