Psalmorum 123

1 Canticum graduum. [Ad te levavi oculos meos, qui habitas in cælis.

UNTO thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 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.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri, quia multum repleti sumus despectione;

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 quia multum repleta est anima nostra opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.]

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
