Psalms 123

1 To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

Ó, Guð, þú sem ríkir á himnum, ég hef augu mín til þín.

2 Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

Við horfum til Drottins Guðs, þráum miskunn hans og náð, rétt eins og þjónninn mænir á húsbónda sinn og þernan á húsmóður sína.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

Miskunna okkur, Drottinn, miskunna okkur.

4 For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

Við höfum fengið nóg af háði og spotti hinna hrokafullu.
