Psalms 123

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller in the heavens.

Nyanyian ziarah. Aku menengadah kepada-Mu ya TUHAN yang memerintah di surga.

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.

Seperti seorang hamba bergantung kepada tuannya, dan seorang hamba perempuan kepada nyonyanya, demikianlah kami menantikan Engkau, ya TUHAN, Allah kami, sampai Engkau mengasihani kami.

3 Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly filled with contempt,

Kasihanilah kami, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, sebab kami sudah terlalu banyak dihina.

4 Our soul has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

Sudah cukup kami diolok-olok orang kaya, dan dicemooh orang-orang yang sombong.
