This is my best 'explanation' for Psalm 123 at this time. Praying the psalms daily, I begin to wonder if I am really getting the full sense of the psalm, especially since they are translated. I found a KJV translation I like here for Psalm 123, and Hebrew translations for each word are on the same website.

Psalm 123
[A Song of Ascent]

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes,
O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
