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.

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

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.

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 on us: for all men are looking down on us.

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

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

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