< Psalms 123 >
1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
上行之詩。 坐在天上的主啊, 我向你舉目。
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.
看哪,僕人的眼睛怎樣望主人的手, 使女的眼睛怎樣望主母的手, 我們的眼睛也照樣望耶和華-我們的上帝, 直到他憐憫我們。
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
耶和華啊,求你憐憫我們,憐憫我們! 因為我們被藐視,已到極處。
4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
我們被那些安逸人的譏誚 和驕傲人的藐視,已到極處。
