< Psalms 123 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.
Yon chan pou monte vè tanp lan. A Ou menm, mwen leve zye mwen, O Ou menm ki chita sou twòn Ou nan syèl la!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.
Men gade, jan zye a sèvitè yo rete sou men a mèt yo, Jan zye a yon sèvant sou men mètrès li, Se konsa, zye nou ye vè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jiskaske li fè nou gras.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Bannou gras, O SENYÈ, bannou gras, paske nou ranpli ak mepriz.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
Nanm nou ranpli ak ensilt a (sila) ki alèz yo, avèk mepriz a (sila) ki plen ògèy yo.
