Psalms 123

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to you who are enthroned in heaven.	1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
2 Just as the eyes of slaves are on their masters' hand, or the eyes of a slave-girl on the hand of hermistress, so our eyes are on Yahweh our God, for him to take pity on us.	2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3 Have pity on us, Yahweh, have pity, for we have had our full share of scorn,	3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
4 more than our share of jeers from the complacent. (Scorn is for the proud.)	4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
	5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
	6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
	7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
	8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
	9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
