Salmi 123

A te alzo i miei occhi

A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens. ²Behold, as the eyes of servants [look ]unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [look ]unto the LORD our God, until he have mercy upon us. ³Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

⁴Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
