Psalms 123

1 A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.

2 See, as the eyes of servants look to their master's hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress's hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh our God until he has mercy on us.

Evo, kao što su uprte oči slugu u ruke gospodara i oči sluškinje u ruke gospodarice tako su oči naše uprte u Jahvu, Boga našega, dok nam se ne smiluje.

3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.

Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.

4 We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.

Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
