詩篇 123

1 天にいますものよ我なんぢにむかひて目をあぐ

“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 みよ僕その主の手に目をそそぎ 婢女その主母の手に目をそそぐがごとく われらはわが神ヱホバに目をそそぎて そのわれを憐みたまはんことをまつ

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 ねがはくはわれらを憐みたまヘ ヱホバよわれらを憐みたまへ そはわれらに軽侮はみちあふれぬ

Have mercy upon us, O LORD! have mercy upon us, For we are overwhelmed with contempt!

4 おもひわづらひなきものの凌辱と たかぶるものの軽侮とはわれらの霊魂にみちあふれぬ

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