Mazmur 123

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

“A song of the steps, or the goings up.” To thee do I lift up mine eyes, O Thou who dwellest 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 to the hand of their masters, And as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, So do our eyes look to the LORD, our God, Until he have pity 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 overwhelmed with contempt!

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

Our soul is filled to the full with the scorn of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
