Religion
Psalm 123
From Versions and Paraphrases of Select Psalms · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)
Religion
t O Thou that on Thine heavenly throne
Dost undisturb'd for ever reign!
To Thee a worm of earth I groan,
To Thee I lift my eyes in pain;
And weary of my burden pray
"Thy love to take this curse away.
As servants whom their lords chastise
Beneath the scourge impatient stand,
So on the Lord we turn our eyes,
And wait till mercy stops His hand;
Till all His grievous plagues remove,
And angry justice yields to love.
