Awit 123
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
123 Sa iyo'y aking itinitingin ang mga mata ko, Oh sa iyo na nauupo sa mga langit.
2 Narito, kung paanong tumitingin ang mga mata ng mga alipin sa kamay ng kanilang panginoon, kung paano ang mga mata ng alilang babae sa kamay ng kaniyang panginoong babae; gayon tumitingin ang mga mata namin sa Panginoon naming Dios, hanggang sa siya'y maawa sa amin.
3 Maawa ka sa amin, Oh Panginoon, maawa ka sa amin: sapagka't kami ay lubhang lipos ng kadustaan.
4 Ang aming kaluluwa'y lubhang lipos ng duwahagi ng mga tiwasay. At ng paghamak ng palalo.
Psalm 123
New English Translation
Psalm 123[a]
A song of ascents.[b]
123 I look up[c] toward you,
the one enthroned[d] in heaven.
2 Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress,[e]
so our eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.
3 Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor!
For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.[f]
4 We have had our fill[g]
of the taunts of the self-assured,
of the contempt of the proud.

- Psalm 123:1 sn The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear.

Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21.
- Psalm 123:1 tn Heb “I lift my eyes.”

Hoffnung für Alle
Warten auf die Hilfe des Herrn
123 Ein Lied für Festbesucher, die nach Jerusalem hinaufziehen.
Herr, ich richte meine Augen auf dich,
ich schaue zum Himmel hinauf, wo du wohnst.
2 Wie ein Diener auf ein Handzeichen seines Herrn wartet
und eine Magd auf einen Wink ihrer Herrin –
so blicken wir auf den Herrn, unseren Gott,
bis er uns ein Zeichen seiner Gnade gibt.
3 Hab Erbarmen mit uns, Herr, hilf uns!
Schon viel zu lange haben wir Verachtung erlitten!
4 Wir haben das Gespött dieser Leute satt,
die so überheblich und selbstsicher sind!
Wir können es nicht länger ertragen,
dass uns diese Hochmütigen verachten!
