Psalms 123

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

Cantique de Mahaloth. J'élève mes yeux à toi, qui habites dans les cieux.

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.

Voici, comme les yeux des serviteurs [regardent] à la main de leurs maîtres; [et] comme les yeux de la servante [regardent] à la main de sa maîtresse; ainsi nos yeux [regardent] à l'Eternel notre Dieu, jusqu’à ce qu'il ait pitié de nous.

3 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.

Aie pitié de nous, ô Eternel! aie pitié de nous; car nous avons été accablés de mépris.

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.

Notre âme est accablée des insultes de ceux qui sont à leur aise, [et] du mépris des orgueilleux.
