  • Psalm 123
  • Ad te levavi oculos meos
 

 

1 To you I lift up my eyes, *

to you enthroned in the heavens.

2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, *

and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

3 So our eyes look to the LORD our God, *

until he show us his mercy.

4 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy, *

for we have had more than enough of contempt,

5 Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, *

and of the derision of the proud.
