ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 123

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Ωιδη των Αναβαθμων.>> Υψωσα τους οφθαλμους μου προς σε τον κατοικουντα εν ουρανοις.	1 [Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to you who are enthroned in heaven.
2 Ιδου, καθως οι οφθαλμοι των δουλων ατενιζουσιν εις την χειρα των κυριων αυτων, καθως οι οφθαλμοι της δουλης εις την χειρα της κυριας αυτης, ουτως οι οφθαλμοι ημων προς Κυριον τον Θεον ημων, εωσου ελεηση ημας.	2 Just as the eyes of slaves are on their masters' hand, or the eyes of a slave-girl on the hand of hermistress, so our eyes are on Yahweh our God, for him to take pity on us.
3 Ελεησον ημας, Κυριε, ελεησον ημας διοτι εχορτασθημεν σφοδρα απο εξουδενωσεως.	3 Have pity on us, Yahweh, have pity, for we have had our full share of scorn,
4 Καθ' υπερβολην εχορτασθη η ψυχη ημων απο της υβρεως των τρυφωντων, απο της εξουδενωσεως των υπερηφανων.	4 more than our share of jeers from the complacent. (Scorn is for the proud.)
