Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
123:2
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.
123:3
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
123:4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
123:1
שׁיר המעלות אליך נשׂאתי את עיני הישׁבי בשׁמים׃
123:2
הנה כעיני עבדים אל יד אדוניהם כעיני שׁפחה אל יד גברתה כן עינינו אל יהוה אלהינו עד שׁיחננו׃
123:3
חננו יהוה חננו כי רב שׂבענו בוז׃
123:4
רבת שׂבעה לה נפשׁנו הלעג השׁאננים הבוז לגאיונים׃
123:1
A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
123:2
Lo, as eyes of men-servants `Are' unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant `Are' unto the hand of her mistress, So `are' our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
123:3
Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
123:4
Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
