Psalmi 123

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

A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller 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.

Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.

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

Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

4 Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.

Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
