Psalms 123

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

Svētku dziesma. Es paceļu savas acis uz Tevi, kas sēdi debesīs.

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.

Redzi, kā kalpu acis uz sava kunga rokām, un kā kalpoņu acis uz savas valdnieces rokām, tā mūsu acis skatās uz To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, tiekams Viņš mūs žēlos.

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

Esi mums žēlīgs, ak Kungs, esi mums žēlīgs, jo mēs esam pārlieku nievāti.

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

Mūsu dvēsele pārlieku top mēdīta no grezniem un nievāta no augstprātīgiem.
