Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Ninayainua macho yangu kwako, kwako wewe ambaye kiti chako cha enzi kiko mbinguni.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants 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 be gracious unto us.

Kama vile macho ya watumwa yatazamavyo mkono wa bwana wao, kama vile macho ya mtumishi wa kike yatazamavyo mkono wa bibi yake, ndivyo macho yetu yamtazamavyo Bwana Mungu wetu, mpaka atakapotuhurumia.

3 Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.

Uturehemu, Ee Bwana, uturehemu, kwa maana tumevumilia dharau nyingi.

4 Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.

Tumevumilia dhihaka nyingi kutoka kwa wenye kiburi, dharau nyingi kutoka kwa wenye majivuno.
