Psalms 123

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

Svētku dziesma. Es paceļu savas acis uz Tevi, kas sēdi debesīs.

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.

Redzi, kā kalpu acis uz sava kunga rokām, un kā kalpoņu acis uz savas valdnieces rokām, tā mūsu acis skatās uz To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, tiekams Viņš mūs žēlos.

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

Esi mums žēlīgs, ak Kungs, esi mums žēlīgs, jo mēs esam pārlieku nievāti.

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

Mūsu dvēsele pārlieku top mēdīta no grezniem un nievāta no augstprātīgiem.
