Psalms 123

1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.

登聖殿歌。居住在諸天上的大主，我向你仰起我的眼目。

2 Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to 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 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.

上主，求你矜憐，矜憐我們！因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌；

4 Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.

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。
