Psalms 123

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look up to you, the one who rules from heaven.

Ó, Guð, þú sem ríkir á himnum, ég hef augu mín til þín.

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.

Við horfum til Drottins Guðs, þráum miskunn hans og náð, rétt eins og þjónninn mænir á húsbónda sinn og þernan á húsmóður sína.

3 Please have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy. We've had enough of people's contempt.

Miskunna okkur, Drottinn, miskunna okkur.

4 We've had more than enough of the scorn of the proud, and the contempt of the arrogant.

Við höfum fengið nóg af háði og spotti hinna hrokafullu.
