Psalms 123

1 To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

Canticum graduum. Ad te levavi oculos meos, qui habitas in caelis.

2 Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

Ecce sicut oculi servorum, in manibus dominorum suorum, Sicut oculi ancillae in manibus dominae suae: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum donec misereatur nostri.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

Miserere nostri Domine, miserere nostri: quia multum repleti sumus despectione:

4 For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

Quia multum repleta est anima nostra: opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.
