123 - Ad te levavi oculos meos

1  Unto you I lift up my eyes, *
you who are enthroned in the heavens.
2  Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand
  of their masters, *
and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, 
3  Even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, *
until he show us his favor.
4  Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, *
for we have suffered more than enough contempt.
5  Long has our soul suffered the scorn of the wealthy *
and the spitefulness of the proud.
