Zaburi 123

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

A song of ascents. I Lift up my eyes to you, who are throned 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.

As the eyes of a servant turn to the hand of his master, or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so do our eyes turn to the Lord our God, until he is gracious to us.

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

Be gracious, be gracious to us, Lord. Scorn enough, and more, have we borne

4 Josunga osejarowa moromo acheje bende osechayowa moromo.

More than enough have we borne of derision from those at their ease, of scorn from those who are haughty.
