| 122 | 1 | To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven. | canticum graduum ad te levavi oculos meos qui habitas in caelis |
| 122 | 2 | Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us. | ecce sicut oculi servorum ad manum dominorum suorum sicut oculi ancillae ad manum dominae suae sic oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum donec misereatur nostri |
| 122 | 3 | Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt. | miserere nostri Domine miserere nostri quoniam multum repleti sumus despectione |
| 122 | 4 | For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud. | multum repleta est anima nostra obprobrii abundantium et despectionis superborum |
