4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

God's Word teaches us to say:

Bless me with life so that I can

continue to obey you.

Open my eyes to see wonderful things

in your Word.

I am but a pilgrim here on earth:

how I need a map -

and your commands are my chart and guide.

I long for your instructions

more than I can tell.

Psalm 119:17-20 TLB

Song

Psalm 123 NIV

The NIV translation has chosen some words

that can help us get in touch

with the emotions

we sometimes battle.

I lift up my eyes to you,

    to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes look to the Lord our God,

    till he shows us his mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,

    for we have endured no end of contempt.

4 We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant,

    of contempt from the proud.
