Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

登聖殿歌。居住在諸天上的大主，我向你仰起我的眼目。

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.

看，僕人的眼目，怎樣仰望主人的手，看，婢女的眼目，怎樣注視主婦的手；我們的眼目也就怎樣注視著上主，我們的天主，直到他憐憫我們才止。

3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

上主，求你矜憐，矜憐我們！因為我們已嘗盡了欺凌；

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

我們的心靈已經飽受得太多了：即驕傲人的欺凌，富貴人的恥笑。
