< Psalmi 123 >
1 Svētku dziesma. Es paceļu savas acis uz Tevi, kas sēdi debesīs.
A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.
2 Redzi, kā kalpu acis uz sava kunga rokām, un kā kalpoņu acis uz savas valdnieces rokām, tā mūsu acis skatās uz To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, tiekams Viņš mūs žēlos.
Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.
3 Esi mums žēlīgs, ak Kungs, esi mums žēlīgs, jo mēs esam pārlieku nievāti.
Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.
4 Mūsu dvēsele pārlieku top mēdīta no grezniem un nievāta no augstprātīgiem.
Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
