תהילים 123

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת אֵלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־עֵינַי הַיֹּשְׁבִי בַּשָּׁמָֽיִם׃

“A song of the degrees.” Unto thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 הִנֵּה כְעֵינֵי עֲבָדִים אֶל־יַד אֲ‍ֽדוֹנֵיהֶם כְּעֵינֵי שִׁפְחָה אֶל־יַד גְּבִרְתָּהּ כֵּן עֵינֵינוּ אֶל־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ עַד שֶׁיְּחָנֵּֽנוּ׃

Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress: thus are our eyes directed unto the Lord our God, until he be gracious unto us.

3 חָנֵּנוּ יְהוָה חָנֵּנוּ כִּֽי־רַב שָׂבַעְנוּ בֽוּז׃

Be gracious unto us, O Lord! be gracious unto us; for we are overburdened with contempt.

4 רַבַּת שָֽׂבְעָה־לָּהּ נַפְשֵׁנוּ הַלַּעַג הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּים הַבּוּז לִגְאֵיוֹנִֽים׃

Our soul is overburdened with the scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
