Psalme. 123.

Vnto thee lift I vp mine eyes: O thou that dwellest in the heau'ns,


25

Behold, euen as ye eyes of seruantes, look vnto the hand of their masters, and as ye eyes of a maiden, vnto ye hand of her mistres: euen so our eyes wait vpon ye Lord our God,

[25]

vntill he haue mercy vpon vs. Haue mercy vpon vs, O Lord, for we are vtterly despised. Our soule is filled, with ye scornful reproof of ye welthy:

26

and with ye despitefulnes of ye proud. Glory be to ye father, & to the sonne, and to the holy Ghost. As it was in ye beginning, as it is now, & euer shal be, world wtout end. Sobeit.
