< Psalms 123 >

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look up to you, the one who rules from heaven.
Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Atingʼo wangʼa ka arango, in ma kom lochni ni e polo.
2 Just as servants look to their master, or a maid looks to her mistress, so we keep our eyes on you, Lord our God, waiting for you to be merciful to us.
Mana kaka wenge wasumbini rango lwet ruodhgi, kendo kaka wenge jatich ma nyako mar ot rango lwet ruodhe madhako, e kaka wengewa rango Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nyaka chop okechwa.
3 Please have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy. We've had enough of people's contempt.
Yie ikechwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie ikechwa, nikech osechawa gi kinda.
4 We've had more than enough of the scorn of the proud, and the contempt of the arrogant.
Josunga osejarowa moromo acheje bende osechayowa moromo.
