Psalms 123

1 A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

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

2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

Ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum; sicut oculi ancillæ in manibus dominæ suæ: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum, donec misereatur nostri.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri, quia multum repleti sumus despectione;

4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.

quia multum repleta est anima nostra opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.
