Psalms of Ascent — 123

Unto You I lift up my eyes,

O You who dwell in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,

As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to the Lord our God,

Until He has mercy on us.

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

For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled

With the scorn of those who are at ease,

With the contempt of the proud.

This is the antidote to "fretting" about the contemptuous attitudes and actions of the complacent and the proud. Look to the Lord, and trust that in his mercy  he will execute justice...in his time.
