< Psalms 123 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller in the heavens.
上行之詩。 坐在天上的主啊, 我向你舉目。
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.
看哪,僕人的眼睛怎樣望主人的手, 使女的眼睛怎樣望主母的手, 我們的眼睛也照樣望耶和華-我們的上帝, 直到他憐憫我們。
3 Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly filled with contempt,
耶和華啊,求你憐憫我們,憐憫我們! 因為我們被藐視,已到極處。
4 Our soul has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
我們被那些安逸人的譏誚 和驕傲人的藐視,已到極處。
