< Psalmi 123 >
1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.
[A Song of Ascents.] To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit 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.
Look, 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 the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.
3 Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
4 Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
