Psalms 123

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo

2 Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour 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 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

4 Greatly hath our soul been 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
