< Psalms 123 >
1 A Song of degrees. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
天にいますものよ我なんぢにむかひて目をあぐ
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.
みよ僕その主の手に目をそそぎ 婢女その主母の手に目をそそぐがごとく われらはわが神ヱホバに目をそそぎて そのわれを憐みたまはんことをまつ
3 Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
ねがはくはわれらを憐みたまヘ ヱホバよわれらを憐みたまへ そはわれらに軽侮はみちあふれぬ
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
おもひわづらひなきものの凌辱と たかぶるものの軽侮とはわれらの霊魂にみちあふれぬ
