Psalmorum 123

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

To thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou who sit in the heavens.

2 Ecce sicut oculi servorum, in manibus dominorum suorum, Sicut oculi ancillae in manibus dominae suae: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum donec misereatur nostri.

Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are to Jehovah our God, until he has mercy upon us.

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

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, 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 scoffing of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
