Psalms 123

1 To you lift I up my eyes, O you that dwell 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 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait on the LORD our God, until that he have 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 we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

上主，求你矜憐，矜憐我們！因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌；

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

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。
