1(124) A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;
1Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;
2Behold, 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.
3verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
