< Psalms 123 >
1 To you lift I up my eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.
Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait on the LORD our God, until that he have mercy on 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 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
