< Psalms 123 >

1 Nkunga wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Ndimvumbula meso mama kuidi ngeyo Yave ngeyo beki kundu kiaku ki Kipfumu mu diyilu.
To you lift I up my eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.
2 Banga meso ma bavika meti tala mioko mi bapfumu bawu; banga meso ma kisadi kinketo mantalanga mioko mi pfumu andi wu nketo; buawu bobo meso meto mantadilanga kuidi Yave, Nzambi eto, nate kela kutumona kiadi.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait on the LORD our God, until that he have mercy on us.
3 Wutumoni kiadi, a Yave, wutumoni kiadi bila nlenzo wuwombo tutambudi.
Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Mvuezolo wuwombo tutambula kuidi bankua luniemo; nlenzo wuwombo kuidi bankua lunangu.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
