Psalms 123

1 [A Song of Ascents.] To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.

Ó, Guð, þú sem ríkir á himnum, ég hef augu mín til þín.

2 Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to YHWH, our God, until he has mercy on us.

Við horfum til Drottins Guðs, þráum miskunn hans og náð, rétt eins og þjónninn mænir á húsbónda sinn og þernan á húsmóður sína.

3 Have mercy on us, YHWH, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

Miskunna okkur, Drottinn, miskunna okkur.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Við höfum fengið nóg af háði og spotti hinna hrokafullu.
