1 The godly profess their confidence in God;

3 and pray to be delivered from contempt.

123:1

song ... ascents <07892 04609> [A.M. cir. 3463. B.C. cir. 541. (Title.) A Song of degrees.]

This Psalm is probably a complaint of the captives in Babylon, relative to the contempt and cruel usage they received.

enthroned in <03427> [O thou.]

123:2

eyes ............. eyes ............... eyes <05869> [as the eyes.]

eyes ............. eyes ............... eyes <05869> [so our eyes.]

123:3

favor ...... favor <02603> [Have mercy.]

some <07227> [for we are.]

123:4

taunts <03933> [with the scorning.]
