Psalms 123

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

K tebi povzdigujem svoje oči, oh ti, ki prebivaš v nebesih.

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.

Glej, kakor oči služabnikov gledajo k roki svojih gospodarjev in kakor oči dekle k roki svoje gospodarice, tako naše oči čakajo na Gospoda, našega Boga, dokler se nas ne usmili.

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

Usmili se nas, oh Gospod, usmili se nas, kajti silno smo nasičeni z zaničevanjem.

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

Naša duša je silno nasičena s preziranjem tistih, ki so ošabni in z zaničevanjem ponosnih.
