< Psalms 123 >

1 A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.
登聖殿歌。居住在諸天上的大主,我向你仰起我的眼目。
2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.
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。
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.
上主,求你矜憐,矜憐我們!因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌;
4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.
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。
