Psalm 123 | Menge Bibel

1 Ein Wallfahrtslied (oder Stufenlied? vgl. Ps 120). Zu dir erhebe ich meine Augen, der du thronst im Himmel.

2 Siehe, wie die Augen der Knechte auf die Hand ihrer Herren, wie die Augen der Magd auf ihrer Gebieterin Hand: so blicken unsre Augen hin auf den HERRN, unsern Gott, bis er sich unser erbarmt.

3 Erbarme dich, HERR, erbarme dich unser! Denn gründlich sind wir satt der Verachtung;

4 satt, ja übersatt ist uns die Seele des Hohns der Leichtfertigen, der Verachtung der Stolzen.

New International Reader’s Version

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

1 I look up and pray to you. Your throne is in heaven.

2 Slaves depend on their masters. A female slave depends on the woman she works for. In the same way, we depend on the LORD our God. We wait for him to have mercy on us.

3 LORD, have mercy on us. Have mercy on us, because people haven’t stopped making fun of us.

4 We have had to put up with a lot from those who are proud. They were always laughing at us.
