祈求上帝怜悯

上圣殿朝圣之诗。

123 在天上做王的耶和华啊!
我仰望你。
我们要仰望我们的上帝耶和华,
如同仆人仰望主人、婢女仰望主母,
一直到蒙祂怜悯。
耶和华啊,
求你怜悯我们,求你怜悯我们,
因为我们饱受鄙视。
我们饱受富足人的嘲弄、骄傲人的鄙视。

仰望耶和華求其矜憫

123 上行之詩。

坐在天上的主啊,我向你舉目!
看哪,僕人的眼睛怎樣望主人的手,使女的眼睛怎樣望主母的手,我們的眼睛也照樣望耶和華我們的神,直到他憐憫我們。
耶和華啊,求你憐憫我們,憐憫我們!因為我們被藐視,已到極處。
我們被那些安逸人的譏誚和驕傲人的藐視已到極處。

123 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
