 We turn now to a piece based on the psalm appointed for this Sunday, Psalm 123. This is a brief psalm, only four verses long, but the verses are deep and profound. The psalmist prays, To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens. As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, 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 upon us.
