< Psalms 123 >

1 Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.
Canticum graduum. [Ad te levavi oculos meos, qui habitas in cælis.
2 Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to 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 Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.
Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri, quia multum repleti sumus despectione;
4 Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.
quia multum repleta est anima nostra opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.]
