< Psalmi 123 >
1 K tebi povzdigujem svoje oči, oh ti, ki prebivaš v nebesih.
[A Song of Ascents.] To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.
2 Glej, kakor oči služabnikov gledajo k roki svojih gospodarjev in kakor oči dekle k roki svoje gospodarice, tako naše oči čakajo na Gospoda, našega Boga, dokler se nas ne usmili.
Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.
3 Usmili se nas, oh Gospod, usmili se nas, kajti silno smo nasičeni z zaničevanjem.
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
4 Naša duša je silno nasičena s preziranjem tistih, ki so ošabni in z zaničevanjem ponosnih.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
