Psalms 123

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller 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 eyes of menservants [Are] to the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] to the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, Until He favors 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 Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly 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 has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

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。
