< Psalms 123 >
1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Atingʼo wangʼa ka arango, in ma kom lochni ni e polo.
2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.
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, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
Yie ikechwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie ikechwa, nikech osechawa gi kinda.
4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
Josunga osejarowa moromo acheje bende osechayowa moromo.
