< Psalmowo 123 >
1 Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi na wò, wò ame si ƒe fiazikpui le dziƒo.
A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.
2 Abe ale si kluviwo kpɔa woƒe aƒetɔ ƒe asinu kple kosiviwo ƒe ŋku nɔa woƒe aƒenɔ ƒe asinu kpɔmii ene la, nenemae míele Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe asinu kpɔmii, va se ɖe esime wòakpɔ nublanui na mí.
See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.
3 O! Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui na mí, O! Kpɔ míaƒe nublanui, elabena míenɔ te ɖe vlododo nu eteƒe didi.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.
4 Míetsɔ dadalawo ƒe alɔmeɖeɖe gbogboawo, eye míenɔ te ɖe ɖokuiŋudzelawo ƒe vlodoame gbogboawo nu eteƒe didi.
For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.
