3rd Day Evening - Psalm 123

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.
