Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

Ó, Guð, þú sem ríkir á himnum, ég hef augu mín til þín.

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

Við horfum til Drottins Guðs, þráum miskunn hans og náð, rétt eins og þjónninn mænir á húsbónda sinn og þernan á húsmóður sína.

3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

Miskunna okkur, Drottinn, miskunna okkur.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Við höfum fengið nóg af háði og spotti hinna hrokafullu.
