Psalms 123

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

Nakuinulia macho yangu, wewe uketiye mbinguni.

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.

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

Ee Yahwe, utuhurumie, kwa maana tunadhalilishwa sana.

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

Tumeshibishwa mzaha wa wenye kiburi na dharau ya wenye majivuno.
