Psaumes 123
La Bible du Semeur

Dans l’attente de sa grâce

123 Cantique pour la route vers la demeure de l’Eternel[a].

Je lève les yeux vers toi,
toi qui sièges dans les cieux.

2 Oui, comme les serviteurs ╵fixent leurs regards
sur la main du maître,
comme la servante ╵fixe ses regards ╵sur la main de sa maîtresse[b],
ainsi nos regards se tournent ╵vers l’Eternel, notre Dieu,
dans l’attente qu’il nous fasse grâce.

3 Fais-nous grâce, ô Eternel ! ╵Manifeste-nous ta compassion !
Car nous sommes saturés ╵du mépris qu’on nous témoigne.
4 Oui, nous sommes saturés
des railleries des repus ╵et du mépris des hautains.

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.
