Psalms 123

1 A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.

2 Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.

Evo, kao što su uprte oči slugu u ruke gospodara i oči sluškinje u ruke gospodarice tako su oči naše uprte u Jahvu, Boga našega, dok nam se ne smiluje.

3 Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.

Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.

4 Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.

Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
