Psalm 123, Chant A

 

Psalm 123     Ad te levavi oculos meos

1 To you I lift up my eyes, *
to you enthroned in the hea-vens.

2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their ma-sters, *
and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mi-stress,

3 So our eyes look to the LORD our God, *
until he show us his mer-cy.

4 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mer-cy, *
for we have had more than enough of con-tempt,

5 Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, *
and of the derision of the proud.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
