Psalmorum 123

1 canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo

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 eius 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 obprobrium 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.
