Psalmen 123
BasisBijbel

Psalm 123

1 Een pelgrimslied.[a]

Ik kijk omhoog naar U, Heer,
naar U in de hemel.
2 Net zoals knechten hun ogen aldoor gericht houden op hun meester,
en dienaressen hun ogen gericht houden op hun meesteres, om onmiddellijk te kunnen doen wat hun wordt bevolen,
zo zijn onze ogen gericht op U, onze Heer God,
tot U medelijden met ons heeft.
3 Heb medelijden met ons, Heer,
heb alstublieft medelijden!
Want we hebben er zó genoeg van
dat de mensen ons uitlachen
en niets met ons te maken willen hebben.
4 We hebben er zó genoeg van
dat mensen die U niet gehoorzamen,
ons uitlachen en belachelijk maken.

New King James Version

Prayer for Relief from Contempt

A Song of Ascents.

123 Unto You (A)I lift up my eyes,
O You (B)who dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
(C)So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

A Song of (A)Ascents.

123 To you I (B)lift up my eyes,
    O you who are (C)enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
    look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
    to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
    till he has mercy upon us.

3 (D)Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
    for we have had more than enough of (E)contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enough
    of (F)the scorn of (G)those who are at ease,
    of the contempt of (H)the proud.
