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 the steps, or the goings up.” To thee do I lift up mine eyes, O Thou who dwellest in the heavens!

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。

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, And as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, So do our eyes look to the LORD, our God, Until he have pity upon us.

3 上主，求你矜憐，矜憐我們！因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌；

Have mercy upon us, O LORD! have mercy upon us, For we are overwhelmed with 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。

Our soul is filled to the full with the scorn of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
