Psalms 123

1 To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

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

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 are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have 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 we are greatly filled with contempt.

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

4 For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
