Psalmorum 123

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look up to you, the one who rules from 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

Just as servants look to their master, or a maid looks to her mistress, so we keep our eyes on you, Lord our God, waiting for you to be merciful to us.

3 miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

Please have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy. We've had enough of people's contempt.

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

We've had more than enough of the scorn of the proud, and the contempt of the arrogant.
