Psaumes 123

1 Cantique graduel. Vers toi je lève les yeux, ô toi qui résides dans les Cieux!

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

2 Voici, comme les yeux des serviteurs regardent la main de leurs maîtres, et les yeux de la servante, la main de sa maîtresse, ainsi nos yeux regardent vers l'Éternel, notre Dieu, attendant qu'il prenne pitié de nous.

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.

3 Prends pitié de nous, Éternel, prends pitié de nous! Car nous sommes assez rassasiés de mépris;

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

4 notre âme est assez rassasiée des railleries des superbes, du mépris des hautains.

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.
