Psalms 123

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

Nakuinulia macho yangu, wewe uketiye mbinguni.

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.

Tazama, kama vile macho ya watumishi watazamapo kwenye mkono wa Bwana wao, na kama macho ya mjakazi yatazamapo mkono wa bibi yake, ndivyo hivyo macho yetu yanamtazama Yahwe mpaka atakapo tuhurumia.

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

Ee Yahwe, utuhurumie, kwa maana tunadhalilishwa sana.

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

Tumeshibishwa mzaha wa wenye kiburi na dharau ya wenye majivuno.
