Oración pidiendo ayuda del Señor

Cántico de ascenso gradual[a].

123 A ti levanto mis ojos(A),
¡oh tú que reinas[b] en los cielos(B)!
He aquí, como los ojos de los siervos miran a la mano de su señor(C),
como los ojos de la sierva a la mano de su señora,
así nuestros ojos miran al Señor nuestro Dios(D)
hasta que se apiade de nosotros.

Ten piedad de nosotros, oh Señor, ten piedad de nosotros(E),
porque muy hartos estamos de desprecio(F).
Harta en extremo está nuestra alma
del escarnio(G) de los que están en holgura(H),
y del desprecio de los soberbios(I).

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.

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.
