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 Ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit 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 master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on 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 on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much 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 exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
