Psalmi 123

1 K tebi povzdigujem svoje oči, oh ti, ki prebivaš v nebesih.

A Song of Ascents. Unto thee, have I lifted up mine eyes, O thou who art enthroned 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.

Lo! as the eyes of men-servants are unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid-servant, unto the hand of her mistress, so, are our eyes, unto Yahweh our God, until that he show us favour.

3 Usmili se nas, oh Gospod, usmili se nas, kajti silno smo nasičeni z zaničevanjem.

Show us favour, O Yahweh, show us favour, for, exceedingly, are we sated with contempt:

4 Naša duša je silno nasičena s preziranjem tistih, ki so ošabni in z zaničevanjem ponosnih.

Exceeding sated therewith, is our soul, —The scorn of the careless, The contempt of the proud.
