Psalms 123

1 [A Song of Ascents.] To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.

Nyanyian ziarah. Kepada-Mu aku melayangkan mataku, ya Engkau yang bersemayam di sorga.

2 Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.

Lihat, seperti mata para hamba laki-laki memandang kepada tangan tuannya, seperti mata hamba perempuan memandang kepada tangan nyonyanya, demikianlah mata kita memandang kepada TUHAN, Allah kita, sampai Ia mengasihani kita.

3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

Kasihanilah kami, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, sebab kami sudah cukup kenyang dengan penghinaan;

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

jiwa kami sudah cukup kenyang dengan olok-olok orang-orang yang merasa aman, dengan penghinaan orang-orang yang sombong.
