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.

A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest 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] unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [look] unto the LORD our God, until he have mercy upon us.

3 Wutumoni kiadi, a Yave, wutumoni kiadi bila nlenzo wuwombo tutambudi.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon 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.
