שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת אֵלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־עֵינַי הַיֹּשְׁבִי בַּשָּׁמָיִם׃   123:1

Psal. 123:1   A song of the ascendance:

                         I lift my eyes to You,

                                 Who dwells in the heavens.

הִנֵּה כְעֵינֵי עֲבָדִים אֶל־יַד אֲדוֹנֵיהֶם כְּעֵינֵי שִׁפְחָה אֶל־יַד גְּבִרְתָּהּ כֵּן עֵינֵינו אֶל־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ עַדּ    123:2

 שֶׁיְּחָנֵּנוּ׃

Psal. 123:2   Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their master,

                                 as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

                        so our eyes are to the Lord, our God,

                                 to the end that He may be gracious to us.

חָנֵּנוּ יְהוָה חָנֵּנוּ כִּי־רַב שָׂבַעְנוּ בוּז׃   123:3

Psal. 123:3   Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us,

                                 for we are greatly sated with contempt.

רַבַּת שָׂבְעָה־לָּהּ נַפְשֵׁנוּ הַלַּעַג הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּים הַבּוּז לִגְאֵיֹונִים׃   123:4

Psal. 123:4   Our soul has had enough of its satiation with the derision of those at ease,

                                 the contempt of the proud.
