Cántico de los peregrinos.

123 ¡Oh Dios cuyo trono está en el cielo: a ti levanto la mirada!

Como el siervo mantiene la mirada en su amo, como la esclava observa la mínima señal de su ama, así dirigimos la mirada al Señor nuestro Dios, esperando su misericordia.

Ten misericordia de nosotros; Señor, ten misericordia. Porque estamos hartos del desprecio. Estamos hartos de las burlas de los orgullosos y de los altivos.

Psalm 123

A pilgrimage song.

123 I raise my eyes to you—
    you who rule heaven.
Just as the eyes of servants attend to their masters’ hand,
    just as the eyes of a female servant attend to her mistress’ hand—
    that’s how our eyes attend to the Lord our God
    until he has mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, Lord! Have mercy
    because we’ve had more than enough shame.
We’ve had more than enough mockery from the self-confident,
    more than enough shame from the proud.
