Psalms 123

1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.

En visa i högre choren. Jag lyfter min ögon upp till dig, du som i himmelen sitter.

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.

Si, såsom tjenarenas ögon uppå deras herrars händer se; såsom tjenarinnones ögon uppå sine frues händer; alltså se vår ögon uppå Herran vår Gud, tilldess han oss nådelig varder.

3 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.

Var oss nådelig, Herre, var oss nådelig; ty vi äre fast fulle med föraktelse.

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.

Fast full är vår själ af de stoltas begabberi, och de högfärdigas föraktelse.
