< Psalms 123 >
1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.
«Ωιδή των Αναβαθμών.» Ύψωσα τους οφθαλμούς μου προς σε τον κατοικούντα εν ουρανοίς.
2 Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to us.
Ιδού, καθώς οι οφθαλμοί των δούλων ατενίζουσιν εις την χείρα των κυρίων αυτών, καθώς οι οφθαλμοί της δούλης εις την χείρα της κυρίας αυτής, ούτως οι οφθαλμοί ημών προς Κύριον τον Θεόν ημών, εωσού ελεήση ημάς.
3 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.
Ελέησον ημάς, Κύριε, ελέησον ημάς διότι εχορτάσθημεν σφόδρα από εξουδενώσεως.
4 Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.
Καθ' υπερβολήν εχορτάσθη η ψυχή ημών από της ύβρεως των τρυφώντων, από της εξουδενώσεως των υπερηφάνων.
