Psalm 123

A song to sing as we climb.

A prayer for God to forgive his people

1 I look up to you, God,

as you rule from your throne in heaven.

2 Yes, our eyes look up to the Lord our God.

We want him to be kind to us,

so we wait for his help.

We wait like servants who want help from their master.

3 Please be kind to us, Lord.

Please forgive us.

People have insulted us more and more!

4 We have had too much!

Proud people laugh at us,

and they do not respect us.

Please stop them!
