< Psalms 123 >
1 A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Atingʼo wangʼa ka arango, in ma kom lochni ni e polo.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.
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.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
Yie ikechwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie ikechwa, nikech osechawa gi kinda.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
Josunga osejarowa moromo acheje bende osechayowa moromo.
