Psalmi 123

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

A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are 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.

See, as the eyes of servants look to their master's hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress's hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh 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, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.

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

We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.
