Psalms 123

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

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

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.

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 we have been filled with utter disdain.

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

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

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