Psalms 123

1 A Song of degrees. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

I A oe no wau e leha aku nei i ko'u mau maka, E ka mea e noho la ma ka lani.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.

Aia hoi, e like me na maka o na kauwakane, I ka lima o ko lakou haku, E like hoi me na maka o ke kauwawahine, I ka lima o kona haku wahine; Pela no ko kakou maka ia Iehova i ko kakou Akua, A aloha mai oia ia makou.

3 Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

E aloha mai oe ia makou, o Iehova, E aloha mai oe ia makou; No ka mea, ua ana loa makou i ka hoowahawahaia.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Ua ana loa ko makou uhane i ka hoomaewaewa ana o ka poe hookano, A me ka hoowahawaha ana o ka poe hookiekie.
