Psalms 123

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

K tebi povzdigujem svoje oči, oh ti, ki prebivaš v nebesih.

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.

Glej, kakor oči služabnikov gledajo k roki svojih gospodarjev in kakor oči dekle k roki svoje gospodarice, tako naše oči čakajo na Gospoda, našega Boga, dokler se nas ne usmili.

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

Usmili se nas, oh Gospod, usmili se nas, kajti silno smo nasičeni z zaničevanjem.

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

Naša duša je silno nasičena s preziranjem tistih, ki so ošabni in z zaničevanjem ponosnih.
