< Zaburi 123 >
1 Nakuinulia macho yangu, wewe uketiye mbinguni.
[the] song of The ascents to you I have lifted up eyes my the [one who] sits in the heavens.
2 Tazama, kama vile macho ya watumishi watazamapo kwenye mkono wa Bwana wao, na kama macho ya mjakazi yatazamapo mkono wa bibi yake, ndivyo hivyo macho yetu yanamtazama Yahwe mpaka atakapo tuhurumia.
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 Ee Yahwe, utuhurumie, kwa maana tunadhalilishwa sana.
Show favor to us O Yahweh show favor to us for much we have been surfeited contempt.
4 Tumeshibishwa mzaha wa wenye kiburi na dharau ya wenye majivuno.
Much it has been surfeited itself self our the mockery of self-confident [people] the contempt (of arrogant opressors. *Q(K)*)
