Psalmorum 123

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

A Song of degrees. To thee I lift up my 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 to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he shall have mercy upon us.

3 miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon 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, and with the contempt of the proud.
