KJV ¹ Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

VULC ¹ Canticum graduum. [Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis,
dicat nunc Israël,

KJV 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.

VULC ² nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis :
cum exsurgerent homines in nos,

KJV ³ Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

VULC ³ forte vivos deglutissent nos ;
cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,

KJV ⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

VULC ⁴ forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos ;

VULC ⁵ torrentem pertransivit anima nostra ;
forsitan pertransisset anima nostra
aquam intolerabilem.

VULC ⁶ Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos
in captionem dentibus eorum.

VULC ⁷ Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est
de laqueo venantium ;
laqueus contritus est,
et nos liberati sumus.

VULC ⁸ Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini,
qui fecit cælum et terram.]
