Psalms 123

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelo

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

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

3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quia multum repleti sumus despectione

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.

quia multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrium abundantibus et despectio superbis
