Daily Tehillim Psalm 123

Psalm 123

תהילים 123

1
שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת אֵלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־עֵינַי הַיֹּשְׁבִי בַּשָּׁמָיִם׃
A song of ascents. To You, enthroned in heaven, I turn my eyes.
2
הִנֵּה כְעֵינֵי עֲבָדִים אֶל־יַד אֲדוֹנֵיהֶם כְּעֵינֵי שִׁפְחָה אֶל־יַד גְּבִרְתָּהּ כֵּן עֵינֵינוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ עַד שֶׁיְּחׇנֵּנוּ׃
As the eyes of servants follow their master’s hand, as the eyes of a maid follow the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are toward the ETERNAL our God, awaiting divine favor.
3
חׇנֵּנוּ יְהֹוָה חׇנֵּנוּ כִּי־רַב שָׂבַעְנוּ בוּז׃
Show us favor, O ETERNAL One, show us favor! We have had more than enough of contempt.
4
רַבַּת שָׂבְעָה־לָּהּ נַפְשֵׁנוּ הַלַּעַג הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּים הַבּוּז (לגאיונים) [לִגְאֵי יוֹנִים]׃ {פ}
Long enough have we endured the scorn of the complacent, the contempt of the haughty.
