Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

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

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.

Ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum; sicut oculi ancillæ in manibus dominæ suæ: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum, donec misereatur nostri.

3 Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.

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

4 Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.

quia multum repleta est anima nostra opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.]
