Zaburi 123

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

[the] song of The ascents to you I have lifted up eyes my the [one who] sits in the heavens.

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.

Here! like [the] eyes of slaves [which are] to [the] hand of master their like [the] eyes of a female slave [which are] to [the] hand of mistress her so eyes our [are] to Yahweh God our until that he will show favor to us.

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

Show favor to us O Yahweh show favor to us for much we have been surfeited contempt.

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

Much it has been surfeited itself self our the mockery of self-confident [people] the contempt (of arrogant opressors. *Q(K)*)
