Psalms 123

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 A Song of Ascents. To thee I lift up my eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens!	1 Canticum graduum. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël,
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he have mercy upon us.	2 nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis : cum exsurgerent homines in nos,
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.	3 forte vivos deglutissent nos ; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,
4 Too long our soul has been sated with the scorn of those who are at ease, the contempt of the proud.	4 forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos ;
	5 torrentem pertransivit anima nostra ; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.
	6 Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum.
	7 Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium ; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.
	8 Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit cælum et terram.
