Our Eyes Look To the Lord Our God - Psalm 123: 1-4
To God the ever-living God
I lift my eyes to you alone
for to look on your is my delight
seeing your splendor on your throne
Behold the wonder of it all
like a servant looks on their master
so I look to my merciful Lord
sends His love like a loving Pastor
Crying aloud have mercy on us
grant your mercy abundantly forth
for our enemies pour out contempt
save us, Lord, you our power source
Our souls are burdened down
we feel we've had more than enough
the proud love to show their scorn
show mercy Lord and call their bluff!
(To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
Our soul has had more than enough
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud.)
Psalm 123: 1-4 (ESV)
