Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto thee, have I lifted up mine eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens.

Orin fún ìgòkè. Ìwọ ní mo gbé ojú mí sókè sí, ìwọ tí ń gbé inú ọ̀run.

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.

Kíyèsi, bí ojú àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin ti máa ń wo ọwọ́ àwọn baba wọn, àti bí ojú ìránṣẹ́bìnrin ti máa ń wo ọwọ́ ìyá rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ojú wa ń wo Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, títí yóò fi ṣàánú fún wa.

3 Show us favour, O Yahweh, show us favour, for, exceedingly, are we sated with contempt:

Olúwa, ṣàánú fún wa, ṣàánú fún wa; nítorí tí a kún fún ẹ̀gàn púpọ̀púpọ̀.

4 Exceeding sated therewith, is our soul, —The scorn of the careless, The contempt of the proud.

Ọkàn wa kún púpọ̀ fún ẹ̀gàn àwọn onírera, àti fún ẹ̀gàn àwọn agbéraga.
