Psalms 123

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

Nakuinulia macho yangu, wewe uketiye mbinguni.

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.

Tazama, kama vile macho ya watumishi watazamapo kwenye mkono wa Bwana wao, na kama macho ya mjakazi yatazamapo mkono wa bibi yake, ndivyo hivyo macho yetu yanamtazama Yahwe mpaka atakapo tuhurumia.

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

Ee Yahwe, utuhurumie, kwa maana tunadhalilishwa sana.

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

Tumeshibishwa mzaha wa wenye kiburi na dharau ya wenye majivuno.
