How to read this page

Every connection is a link, colour-coded by type — Direct Quotation · Allusion · Echo. This Old Testament page shows two kinds:

Old Testament → Old Testament — underlined coloured phrases, where this verse connects to another OT passage:

Direct Quotation — a word-for-word citation
Allusion — a deliberate reference without quoting
Echo — a fainter verbal or thematic resonance

Old Testament → New Testament — coloured † crosses, where the New Testament takes up this verse:

† Direct Quotation — the NT quotes this verse
† Allusion — the NT references it
† Echo — a fainter NT resonance

The underline style backs up the colour — solid = quotation, dashed = allusion, dotted = echo. Hover (or tap) any link to preview, then click to follow. Use 📖 Reader to hide the marks and read clean Scripture.

← Psalm 122 Psalm 124 →

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven. 2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt. 4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
