1 A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.

1 Canticum graduum. [Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis,dicat nunc Isral,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 nostraaquam intolerabilem.6 Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nosin captionem dentibus eorum.7 Anima nostra sicut passer erepta estde laqueo venantium ;laqueus contritus est,et nos liberati sumus.8 Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini,qui fecit clum et terram.]
