Zaburi 123

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

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

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

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

4 Josunga osejarowa moromo acheje bende osechayowa moromo.

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