Psalms 123

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, O dweller in the heavens.

canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo

2 Behold, as eyes of menservants [Are] to the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maidservant [Are] to the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, Until He favors 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 Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, For we have been greatly filled with contempt,

miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

4 Our soul has been greatly filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
