Psalm 123
Geneva Study Bible
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
Behold, as the eyes of {a} servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

(a) He compares the condition of the godly, to servants who are destitute of all help, assuring that when all other help fails, God is always at hand and like himself.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are {b} exceedingly filled with contempt.

(b) He declares that when the faithful are so full that they cannot endure the oppression and scorning of the wicked any more, there is always help above, if with hungry desires they call for it.

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