< Psalmorum 123 >
1 canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo
A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.
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 seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.
3 miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione
Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.
4 quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
