Psalms 123

1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

I A oe no wau e leha aku nei i ko'u mau maka, E ka mea e noho la ma ka lani.

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.

Aia hoi, e like me na maka o na kauwakane, I ka lima o ko lakou haku, E like hoi me na maka o ke kauwawahine, I ka lima o kona haku wahine; Pela no ko kakou maka ia Iehova i ko kakou Akua, A aloha mai oia ia makou.

3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.

E aloha mai oe ia makou, o Iehova, E aloha mai oe ia makou; No ka mea, ua ana loa makou i ka hoowahawahaia.

4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.

Ua ana loa ko makou uhane i ka hoomaewaewa ana o ka poe hookano, A me ka hoowahawaha ana o ka poe hookiekie.
