Psalms 123

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

Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Natomboli miso na ngai epai na Yo, Yawe, oyo ovandi na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi kati na Lola.

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.

Ndenge miso ya bawumbu etalaka nkolo na bango, mpe miso ya mwasi mosali etalaka nkolo na ye ya mwasi, ndenge wana mpe miso na biso ezali kotala Yawe, Nzambe na biso, kino asalela biso ngolu.

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

Yawe, salela biso ngolu, yokela biso mawa! Pamba te tolembi kotiolama!

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

Tolembi penza kotiolama na bato ya lolendo mpe ya lofundu!
