Psalmorum 123

1 Canticum graduum. Ad te levavi oculos meos, qui habitas in caelis.

A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

2 Ecce sicut oculi servorum, in manibus dominorum suorum, Sicut oculi ancillae in manibus dominae suae: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum donec misereatur nostri.

Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.

3 Miserere nostri Domine, miserere nostri: quia multum repleti sumus despectione:

Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.

4 Quia multum repleta est anima nostra: opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.

Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
