Psalms 123

1 UNTO thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

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

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon 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 upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon 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.
