123:1
ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς σὲ ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ
坐在天上的主啊， 我向你舉目。
I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
123:2
ἰδοὺ ὡς ὀφθαλμοὶ δούλων εἰς χεῖρας τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν ὡς ὀφθαλμοὶ παιδίσκης εἰς χεῖρας τῆς κυρίας αὐτῆς οὕτως οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν ἕως οὗ οἰκτιρήσαι ἡμᾶς
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－我們的上帝， 直到他憐憫我們。
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.
123:3
ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς κύριε ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς ὅτι ἐπὶ πολὺ ἐπλήσθημεν ἐξουδενώσεως
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。
Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
123:4
ἐπὶ πλεῖον ἐπλήσθη ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν τὸ ὄνειδος τοῖς εὐθηνοῦσιν καὶ ἡ ἐξουδένωσις τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις
我們被那些安逸人的譏誚 和驕傲人的藐視，已到極處。
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
