圣咏集 123

1To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

2Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

4For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

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

2Ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum; sicut oculi ancillæ in manibus dominæ suæ: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum, donec misereatur nostri.

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

4quia multum repleta est anima nostra opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.]

1A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells in the heavens.

2Behold, as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.

3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain.

4For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.
