Psalm 123
New International Version
Psalm 123
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to you,
to you who sit enthroned(A) in heaven.
2 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.
3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no end
of ridicule from the arrogant,
of contempt from the proud.

Med blicken på Guds nåd
123 En pilgrimssång.
Jag lyfter mina ögon till dig,
du som tronar i himlen.
2 Som tjänarnas ögon
ser till sin herres hand,
som tjänarinnans ögon
ser till sin husfrus hand,
så ser våra ögon
till Herren vår Gud
till dess han förbarmar sig
över oss.
3 [a]Förbarma dig, Herre,
förbarma dig över oss,
för vi har fått nog av allt förakt.
4 [b]Vår själ har fått nog
av de säkras hån
och de stoltas förakt.

Psalm 123
King James Version
123 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 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.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
