詩篇 123

1 登聖殿歌。居住在諸天上的大主，我向你仰起我的眼目。

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

2 看，僕人的眼目，怎樣仰望主人的手，看，婢女的眼目，怎樣注視主婦的手；我們的眼目也就怎樣注視著上主，我們的天主，直到他憐憫我們才止。

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 上主，求你矜憐，矜憐我們！因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌；

Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.

4 我們的心靈已經飽受得太多了：即驕傲人的欺凌，富貴人的恥笑。

We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
