Mazmur 123

1 Nyanyian ziarah. Aku menengadah kepada-Mu ya TUHAN yang memerintah di surga.

A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.

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 [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

3 Kasihanilah kami, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, sebab kami sudah terlalu banyak dihina.

Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Sudah cukup kami diolok-olok orang kaya, dan dicemooh orang-orang yang sombong.

[Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
