Zaburi 123

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Ninayainua macho yangu kwako, kwako wewe ambaye kiti chako cha enzi kiko mbinguni.

To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

2 Kama vile macho ya watumwa yatazamavyo mkono wa bwana wao, kama vile macho ya mtumishi wa kike yatazamavyo mkono wa bibi yake, ndivyo macho yetu yamtazamavyo Bwana Mungu wetu, mpaka atakapotuhurumia.

Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

3 Uturehemu, Ee Bwana, uturehemu, kwa maana tumevumilia dharau nyingi.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

4 Tumevumilia dhihaka nyingi kutoka kwa wenye kiburi, dharau nyingi kutoka kwa wenye majivuno.

For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
