Psalms 123

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

K tebi povzdigujem svoje oči, oh ti, ki prebivaš v nebesih.

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.

Glej, kakor oči služabnikov gledajo k roki svojih gospodarjev in kakor oči dekle k roki svoje gospodarice, tako naše oči čakajo na Gospoda, našega Boga, dokler se nas ne usmili.

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

Usmili se nas, oh Gospod, usmili se nas, kajti silno smo nasičeni z zaničevanjem.

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

Naša duša je silno nasičena s preziranjem tistih, ki so ošabni in z zaničevanjem ponosnih.
