< Psalms 123 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.
`The song of grecis. To thee Y haue reisid myn iyen; that dwellist in heuenes.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.
Lo! as the iyen of seruauntis; ben in the hondis of her lordis. As the iyen of the handmaide ben in the hondis of her ladi; so oure iyen ben to oure Lord God, til he haue mercy on vs.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Lord, haue thou merci on vs, haue thou merci on vs; for we ben myche fillid with dispisyng.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
For oure soule is myche fillid; we ben schenschipe to hem that ben abundaunte with richessis, and dispising to proude men.
