Salamo 123

1 Ampiandraeko ama’o o masokoo, ry Mpiambesatse an-dikerañe ao.

Unto you lift I up mine eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.

2 Hehe te manahake ty fañentean’ ondevo ty fitàn-talè’e, naho ty mason’ anak’ ampatañe ty fitàn-drakemba’e, ro iandràm-pihainon-tika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika, ampara’ te tretreze’e.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 Ferenaiño zahay ry Iehovà, tretrezo, fa loho natsafen-tsirìka.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Etsake ty fanivativà’ o mpiaiñ’ añoleñañeo o fiai’aio, vaho ty inje’ o mpirengevokeo.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
