Psalms 123

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

Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Natomboli miso na ngai epai na Yo, Yawe, oyo ovandi na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi kati na Lola.

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.

Ndenge miso ya bawumbu etalaka nkolo na bango, mpe miso ya mwasi mosali etalaka nkolo na ye ya mwasi, ndenge wana mpe miso na biso ezali kotala Yawe, Nzambe na biso, kino asalela biso ngolu.

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

Yawe, salela biso ngolu, yokela biso mawa! Pamba te tolembi kotiolama!

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

Tolembi penza kotiolama na bato ya lolendo mpe ya lofundu!
