Psalm 123


123 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem.

11 I lift my eyes to you,
O God, enthroned in heaven.
2 We look to the Lord our God for his mercy,
just as servants keep their eyes on their master,
as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.
3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy,
for we have had our fill of contempt.
4 We have had our fill of the scoffing of the proud
and the contempt of the arrogant.

Holy Bible : New Living Translation. 1997, c1996 (electronic ed.) (Ps 123:1). Wheaton: Tyndale House.

Just read this and thought it was an encouraging word for the day.

Be blessed.
