Psalms 123

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

Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Yaa isa teessoon kee samii irra jiru, ani ija koo gara keetti ol nan qabadha.

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.

Akkuma iji garbootaa harka gooftaa isaanii, iji garbittii immoo harka giiftii ishee ilaalu sana, hamma inni araara nuu buusutti, iji keenyas gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa ni ilaala.

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

Nuu araarami; yaa Waaqayyo, nuu araarami; tuffatamuun nutti baayʼateeraatii.

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

Arrabni warra of jajaniitii fi tuffiin warra of tuulanii nutti baayʼateera.
