Psalmowo 123

1 Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi na wò, wò ame si ƒe fiazikpui le dziƒo.

A song of ascents. I Lift up my eyes to you, who are throned 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.

As the eyes of a servant turn to the hand of his master, or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so do our eyes turn to the Lord our God, until he is gracious to us.

3 O! Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui na mí, O! Kpɔ míaƒe nublanui, elabena míenɔ te ɖe vlododo nu eteƒe didi.

Be gracious, be gracious to us, Lord. Scorn enough, and more, have we borne

4 Míetsɔ dadalawo ƒe alɔmeɖeɖe gbogboawo, eye míenɔ te ɖe ɖokuiŋudzelawo ƒe vlodoame gbogboawo nu eteƒe didi.

More than enough have we borne of derision from those at their ease, of scorn from those who are haughty.
