Psalm 122 (123)
Dominus fiducia populi
The Lord, the people's trust
Duo cæci... clamaverunt: «Domine, miserere nostri, Fili David» (Mt 20, 30).
Two blind men cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David" (Mt 20:30).
Ad te levávi óculos meos, * qui hábitas in cælis.
To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
Ecce sicut óculi servórum ad manus dominórum suórum, * sicut óculi ancíllæ ad manus dóminæ suæ,
Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters,
ita óculi nostri ad Dóminum Deum nostrum, * donec misereátur nostri.
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.
Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri, * quia multum repléti sumus despectióne;
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
quia multum repléta est ánima nostra * derisióne abundántium et despectióne superbórum.
For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

Dixit Dominus Paulo: «Noli timere ... quia ego sum tecum» (Act 18, 9-10).
The Lord said to Paul: "Do not fear... I am with you" (Act 18, 9-10).
Nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israel, † nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, * cum exsúrgerent hómines in nos:
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
forte vivos deglutíssent nos, * cum irascerétur furor eórum in nos.
perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
Fórsitan aqua absorbuísset nos, † torrens pertransísset ánimam nostram * fórsitan pertransíssent ánimam nostram aquæ intumescéntes.
Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
Benedíctus Dóminus; * qui non dedit nos in direptiónem déntibus eórum.
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
Anima nostra sicut passer erépta est * de láqueo venántium:
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers.
láqueus contrítus est, * et nos erépti sumus.
The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Miserére mei, Deus, miserére mei, * quóniam in te cónfugit ánima mea;
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee.
et in umbra alárum tuárum confúgiam, * donec tránseant insídiæ.
And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
Clamábo ad Deum Altíssimum, * Deum, qui benefécit mihi.
I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
Mittet de cælo et liberábit me; † dabit in oppróbrium conculcántes me. * Mittet Deus misericórdiam suam et veritátem suam.
He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
Anima mea recúmbit in médio catulórum leónum * devorántium fílios hóminum.
and he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men,
Dentes eórum arma et sagíttæ * et língua eórum gládius acútus.
whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Exaltáre super cælos, Deus, * super omnem terram glória tua.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
Láqueum paravérunt pédibus meis, * et incurvávit se ánima mea;
7 They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul.
fodérunt ante fáciem meam fóveam, * et ipsi incidérunt in eam.
They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
Parátum cor meum, Deus, † parátum cor meum; * cantábo et psalmum dicam.
My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and rehearse a psalm.

Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
Confitébor tibi in pópulis, Dómine, * et psalmum dicam tibi in natiónibus,
