Psalms 123

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.

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.

Evo, kao što su uprte oči slugu u ruke gospodara i oči sluškinje u ruke gospodarice tako su oči naše uprte u Jahvu, Boga našega, dok nam se ne smiluje.

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

Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.

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

Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.
