Psalmi 123

1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells in the heavens.

2 Evo, kao što su uprte oči slugu u ruke gospodara i oči sluškinje u ruke gospodarice tako su oči naše uprte u Jahvu, Boga našega, dok nam se ne smiluje.

Behold, as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.

3 Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain.

4 Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.

For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.
