123:2 Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress, 1
so my eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.
123:3 Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor!
For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some. 2
123:4 We have had our fill 3
of the taunts of the self-assured,
of the contempt of the proud.
1 sn Servants look to their master for food, shelter, and other basic needs.
2 tn Heb “for greatly we are filled [with] humiliation.”
3 tn Heb “greatly our soul is full to it.”
