Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

K tebi povzdigujem svoje oči, oh ti, ki prebivaš v nebesih.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.

Glej, kakor oči služabnikov gledajo k roki svojih gospodarjev in kakor oči dekle k roki svoje gospodarice, tako naše oči čakajo na Gospoda, našega Boga, dokler se nas ne usmili.

3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

Usmili se nas, oh Gospod, usmili se nas, kajti silno smo nasičeni z zaničevanjem.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Naša duša je silno nasičena s preziranjem tistih, ki so ošabni in z zaničevanjem ponosnih.
