Psalms 123

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

Nakuinulia macho yangu, wewe uketiye mbinguni.

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 Yhwh our God, until that he have mercy upon 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 Have mercy upon us, O Yhwh, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Ee Yahwe, utuhurumie, kwa maana tunadhalilishwa sana.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Tumeshibishwa mzaha wa wenye kiburi na dharau ya wenye majivuno.
