Psalmorum 123

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

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells 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 the servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.

3 miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain.

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

For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.
