仰望耶和华求其矜悯

123 上行之诗。

坐在天上的主啊,我向你举目!
看哪,仆人的眼睛怎样望主人的手,使女的眼睛怎样望主母的手,我们的眼睛也照样望耶和华我们的神,直到他怜悯我们。
耶和华啊,求你怜悯我们,怜悯我们!因为我们被藐视,已到极处。
我们被那些安逸人的讥诮和骄傲人的藐视已到极处。

Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to you,
    to you who sit enthroned(A) in heaven.
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord(B) our God,
    till he shows us his mercy.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured no end of contempt.
We have endured no end
    of ridicule from the arrogant,
    of contempt from the proud.

(A song for worship.)

A Prayer for Mercy

Our Lord and our God,
I turn my eyes to you,
    on your throne in heaven.
Servants look to their master,
but we will look to you,
    until you have mercy on us.

Please have mercy, Lord!
We have been insulted
    more than we can stand,
and we can't take more abuse
from those proud,
    conceited people.
