Súplica por la bondad de Dios

Cántico gradual.

123 Hacia ti, Señor, levanto mis ojos;
hacia ti, que habitas en los cielos.
Nuestros ojos están puestos en ti,
Señor y Dios nuestro,
como los ojos de los siervos y las siervas
que miran atentos a sus amos y sus amas;
¡esperamos que nos muestres tu bondad!

Muéstranos tu bondad, Señor;
¡muéstranos tu bondad!
¡Ya estamos cansados de que nos desprecien!
¡Ya estamos cansados de tantas burlas
por parte de quienes todo lo tienen!
¡Cansados de que los soberbios nos menosprecien!

Prayer for Relief from Contempt

A Song of Ascents.

123 Unto You (A)I lift up my eyes,
O You (B)who dwell in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
(C)So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of 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.
