Psalms 123

1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo

2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum sicut oculi ancillae in manibus dominae eius ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum donec misereatur nostri

3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.

miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.

quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
