< Psalms 123 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
Yon chan pou monte vè tanp lan. A Ou menm, mwen leve zye mwen, O Ou menm ki chita sou twòn Ou nan syèl la!
2 Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
Men gade, jan zye a sèvitè yo rete sou men a mèt yo, Jan zye a yon sèvant sou men mètrès li, Se konsa, zye nou ye vè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jiskaske li fè nou gras.
3 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
Bannou gras, O SENYÈ, bannou gras, paske nou ranpli ak mepriz.
4 Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
Nanm nou ranpli ak ensilt a (sila) ki alèz yo, avèk mepriz a (sila) ki plen ògèy yo.
