Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ‌ʻOku ou hanga hake hoku mata ki hoʻo ʻafio, ʻa koe ʻoku ke ʻafio ʻi he ngaahi langi.

2 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.

Vakai, ʻoku hangē ko e sio ʻae mata ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ki he nima ʻo ʻenau ngaahi ʻeiki, pea hangē ko e mata ʻo ha kaunanga ki he nima ʻo ʻene ʻeiki fefine; ʻoku tatali pehē ʻa homau mata kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, kaeʻoua ke ne ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimautolu.

3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimautolu, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimautolu: he kuo mau fonu ʻaupito ʻi he manukia.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

‌ʻOku fonu ʻaupito homau laumālie ʻi he manuki ʻanautolu ʻoku anga fakafiemālie, pea mo e fehiʻa ʻae fielahi.
