Kiswahili Contemporary Version (Neno: Bibilia Takatifu)

Zaburi 123:1-4

Zaburi 123

Kuomba Rehema

Wimbo wa kwenda juu.

1123:1 Za 68:5; Isa 6:1; 63:15Ninayainua macho yangu kwako,

kwako wewe ambaye kiti chako cha enzi kiko mbinguni.

2123:2 Za 25:15Kama vile macho ya watumwa

yatazamavyo mkono wa bwana wao,

kama vile macho ya mtumishi wa kike

yatazamavyo mkono wa bibi yake,

ndivyo macho yetu yamtazamavyo Bwana Mungu wetu,

mpaka atakapotuhurumia.

3Uturehemu, Ee Bwana, uturehemu,

kwa maana tumevumilia dharau nyingi.

4Tumevumilia dhihaka nyingi kutoka kwa wenye kiburi,

dharau nyingi kutoka kwa wenye majivuno.

New International Version

Psalms 123:1-4

Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

1I lift up my eyes to you,

to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

2As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes look to the Lord our God,

till he shows us his mercy.

3Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,

for we have endured no end of contempt.

4We have endured no end

of ridicule from the arrogant,

of contempt from the proud.
