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. Unto thee, have I lifted up mine eyes, O thou who art enthroned 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。

Lo! as the eyes of men-servants are unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid-servant, unto the hand of her mistress, so, are our eyes, unto Yahweh our God, until that he show us favour.

3 上主，求你矜憐，矜憐我們！因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌；

Show us favour, O Yahweh, show us favour, for, exceedingly, are we sated 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。

Exceeding sated therewith, is our soul, —The scorn of the careless, The contempt of the proud.
