Psalmorum 123

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

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

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

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

3 miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.

4 quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis

We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
