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 Yhwh 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 Yhwh, 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.
