Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

A Song of (A)Ascents.

123 To you I (B)lift up my eyes,
    O you who are (C)enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of servants
    look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
    to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
    till he has mercy upon us.

(D)Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
    for we have had more than enough of (E)contempt.
Our soul has had more than enough
    of (F)the scorn of (G)those who are at ease,
    of the contempt of (H)the proud.

Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to you,
    to you who sit enthroned(A) in heaven.
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord(B) our God,
    till he shows us his mercy.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured no end of contempt.
We have endured no end
    of ridicule from the arrogant,
    of contempt from the proud.

123 Sa iyo'y aking itinitingin ang mga mata ko,
    O ikaw na sa kalangitan ay nakaupo sa trono!
Gaya ng mga mata ng mga alipin
    na nakatingin sa kamay ng kanilang panginoon,
gaya ng mga mata ng alilang babae
    na nakatingin sa kamay ng kanyang panginoong babae,
gayon tumitingin ang aming mga mata sa Panginoon naming Diyos,
    hanggang sa siya'y maawa sa amin.

Maawa ka sa amin, O Panginoon, maawa ka sa amin,
    sapagkat labis-labis na ang paghamak sa amin.
Ang aming kaluluwa'y lubos na napupuno
    ng paglibak ng mga nasa kaginhawahan,
    ng paghamak ng palalo.
