Psalms 123

1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells in the heavens.

Песнь восхождения. К Тебе возвожу очи мои, Живущий на небесах!

2 Behold, as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.

Вот, как очи рабов обращены на руку господ их, как очи рабы - на руку госпожи ее, так очи наши - к Господу, Богу нашему, доколе Он помилует нас.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain.

Помилуй нас, Господи, помилуй нас, ибо довольно мы насыщены презрением;

4 For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.

довольно насыщена душа наша поношением от надменных и уничижением от гордых.
