Psalmi 123

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

Unto you lift I up mine eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.

2 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.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

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

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
