Psalms 123

1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.

Píseň stupňů. K toběť pozdvihuji očí svých, ó ty, kterýž na nebesích přebýváš.

2 Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to us.

Aj hle, jakož oči služebníků k rukám pánů jejich, jakož oči děvky k rukám paní její: tak oči naše k Hospodinu Bohu našemu, až by se smiloval nad námi.

3 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.

Smiluj se nad námi, Hospodine, smiluj se nad námi, neboť jsme již příliš potupou nasyceni.

4 Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.

Jižť jest příliš nasycena duše naše posmíšky bezbožných, a potupou pyšných.
