Psalms 123

1 A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.

登聖殿歌。居住在諸天上的大主，我向你仰起我的眼目。

2 Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.

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 Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.

上主，求你矜憐，矜憐我們！因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌；

4 Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.

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。
