Psalmi 123

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

To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

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 are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on 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 are greatly filled with contempt.

4 Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.

For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
