Mazmur 123

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

“A song of the degrees.” Unto thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou that 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 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 Kasihanilah kami, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, sebab kami sudah terlalu banyak dihina.

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

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

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