Psalms 123

1 A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.

canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

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 pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

4 [Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.

quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
