GENERAL
INFORMATION
This is a choral setting of
the 123rd Psalm:
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou
that dwellest in the heavens.
Behold, 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.
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are
exceedingly filled with contempt.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those
that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the
proud.
