< Psalms 123 >
1 `The song of grecis. To thee Y haue reisid myn iyen; that dwellist in heuenes.
canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo
2 Lo! as the iyen of seruauntis; ben in the hondis of her lordis. As the iyen of the handmaide ben in the hondis of her ladi; so oure iyen ben to oure Lord God, til he haue mercy on vs.
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 Lord, haue thou merci on vs, haue thou merci on vs; for we ben myche fillid with dispisyng.
miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione
4 For oure soule is myche fillid; we ben schenschipe to hem that ben abundaunte with richessis, and dispising to proude men.
quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
