Psalms 123

1 A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.

canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo

2 See, as the eyes of servants look to their master's hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress's hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh our God until he has mercy on 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 mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.

miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

4 We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.

quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
