< Psalms 123 >

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller in the heavens.
Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.
2 Behold, as eyes of menservants [Are] to the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] to the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, Until He favors 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 Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly filled with contempt,
Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.
4 Our soul has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
