< Psalms 123 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Unto thee, have I lifted up mine eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens.
Fihirana fiakarana.
2 Lo! as the eyes of men-servants are unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid-servant, unto the hand of her mistress, so, are our eyes, unto Yahweh our God, until that he show us favour.
Indro, toy ny fijerin’ ny ankizilahy Ny tanan’ ny tompolahiny, Ary toy ny fijerin’ ny ankizivavy Ny tanan’ ny tompovaviny, No fijerintsika an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, Mandra-pamindra fony amintsika.
3 Show us favour, O Yahweh, show us favour, for, exceedingly, are we sated with contempt:
Mamindrà fo aminay, Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo aminay; Fa tototry ny fanamavoana loatra izahay;
4 Exceeding sated therewith, is our soul, —The scorn of the careless, The contempt of the proud.
Eny, tototry ny famingavingan’ ny miadana ny fanahinay, Sy tototry ny fanamavoan’ ny mpiavonavona.
