Ps 123 (King James)

   ¹ Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. ² Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. ³ Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. ⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Ps 123 (Vulgate)

   ¹ Canticum graduum. [Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis,
dicat nunc Israël,
   ² nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis :
cum exsurgerent homines in nos,
   ³ forte vivos deglutissent nos ;
cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,
   ⁴ forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos ;
   ⁵ torrentem pertransivit anima nostra ;
forsitan pertransisset anima nostra
aquam intolerabilem.
   ⁶ Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos
in captionem dentibus eorum.
   ⁷ Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est
de laqueo venantium ;
laqueus contritus est,
et nos liberati sumus.
   ⁸ Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini,
qui fecit cælum et terram.]
