< Mazmur 123 >
1 Nyanyian ziarah. Aku menengadah kepada-Mu ya TUHAN yang memerintah di surga.
Unto you lift I up mine eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.
2 Seperti seorang hamba bergantung kepada tuannya, dan seorang hamba perempuan kepada nyonyanya, demikianlah kami menantikan Engkau, ya TUHAN, Allah kami, sampai Engkau mengasihani kami.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3 Kasihanilah kami, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, sebab kami sudah terlalu banyak dihina.
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Sudah cukup kami diolok-olok orang kaya, dan dicemooh orang-orang yang sombong.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
