Psalms 123

1 A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.

2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

Evo, kao što su uprte oči slugu u ruke gospodara i oči sluškinje u ruke gospodarice tako su oči naše uprte u Jahvu, Boga našega, dok nam se ne smiluje.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.

4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.

Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
