Psalmi 123

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

A Song of degrees. To thee I lift up my eyes, O thou that dwellest 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 servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he shall have mercy upon us.

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

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
