Psalms 123

1 A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.

K tebi povzdigujem svoje oči, oh ti, ki prebivaš v nebesih.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

Glej, kakor oči služabnikov gledajo k roki svojih gospodarjev in kakor oči dekle k roki svoje gospodarice, tako naše oči čakajo na Gospoda, našega Boga, dokler se nas ne usmili.

3 Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Usmili se nas, oh Gospod, usmili se nas, kajti silno smo nasičeni z zaničevanjem.

4 [Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.

Naša duša je silno nasičena s preziranjem tistih, ki so ošabni in z zaničevanjem ponosnih.
