Psalms 123

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

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

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.

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

3 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

Miskunna okkur, Drottinn, miskunna okkur.

4 Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

Við höfum fengið nóg af háði og spotti hinna hrokafullu.
