Psal. 123. Ad te levavi.
Canticum Graduum.
1
To thee, that sitt'st above the skies,that Heavens in-dweller art,
I lift up my submissive eies,
from vallies of my heart.
2
Loe, as upon their Masters hand,the servants eies depend:
As on her Mistresses command,
a maidens eies attend;
Upon the Lord our God our eies,
so waiting are intent,
Untill his Graces free supplies,
in Mercy us prevent.
3
In Mercy, us (O Lord) exempt,thy Mercy make appeare:
For we are fill'd with much contempt,
more than our hearts can beare.
4
Our soule is cloi'd above the crowne,we beare beyond our might:
With scorne the wealthy weigh us downe;
the proud, with high despight.
