Comment – In Psalm 123, the situation that appears to the reader's eyes is that of the pain of a loss of the person who represents it. However, he finds the strength to react to all this through his great faith in God. The events to which he refers are to be traced back with good approximation to the Maccabaic era when, in the absence of prophets to guide them, the faithful addressed directly to God to know the ways forward. The psalm is nothing more than an invocation to the Lord in a situation of bewilderment, for indications and pity.
Psalm 123 complete
[1] Song of the Ascensions. Di Davide. I raise my eyes to you, to you who live in the skies.
[2] Behold, like the eyes of servants at the hand of their masters; as the eyes of the slave, at the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are turned to the Lord our God, as long as she has mercy on us.
[3] Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, they have already filled us with derision,
[4] we are too satisfied with the ridicule of the happy ones, with the contempt of the proud.
