Psalmorum 123

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

A Song of degrees. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest 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 [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.

3 miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto 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 scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
