< Psalmorum 123 >
1 canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo
`The song of grecis. To thee Y haue reisid myn iyen; that dwellist in heuenes.
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
Lo! as the iyen of seruauntis; ben in the hondis of her lordis. As the iyen of the handmaide ben in the hondis of her ladi; so oure iyen ben to oure Lord God, til he haue mercy on vs.
3 miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione
Lord, haue thou merci on vs, haue thou merci on vs; for we ben myche fillid with dispisyng.
4 quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
For oure soule is myche fillid; we ben schenschipe to hem that ben abundaunte with richessis, and dispising to proude men.
