Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

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

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.

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 Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.

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

4 Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.

Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
