Zaburi 123

1 Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Atingʼo wangʼa ka arango, in ma kom lochni ni e polo.

UNTO thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 Mana kaka wenge wasumbini rango lwet ruodhgi, kendo kaka wenge jatich ma nyako mar ot rango lwet ruodhe madhako, e kaka wengewa rango Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nyaka chop okechwa.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 Yie ikechwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie ikechwa, nikech osechawa gi kinda.

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

4 Josunga osejarowa moromo acheje bende osechayowa moromo.

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