Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 123


Chapter 123

2. Behold, as the eyes of slaves to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a handmaid to the hand of her mistress, so are our eyes to the Lord our God, until He favors us.   ב.
3. Favor us, O Lord, favor us, for we are fully sated with contempt.   ג.
4. Our soul is fully sated with the ridicule of the complacent, the contempt [shown] to the valley of doves.   ד.
