1. To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

2. Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, 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.

3. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

4. For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.





“Quando ofendemos a justiça de Deus, apelamos à Sua misericórdia. Mas se ofendemos a Sua misericórdia, a quem podemos apelar? Ofender o Pai que nos ama e insultar quem nos auxilia é um pecado pelo qual seremos severamente julgados.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
