Psalm 122 [1]
122:1 I have lifted up my eyes to you, * who dwells in the heavens.
122:2a Behold, as the eyes of the servants * are on the hands of their masters,
122:2b as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, * so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.
122:3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. * For we have been filled with utter disdain.
122:4 For our soul has been greatly filled. * We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.

℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Psalm 123 [2]
123:1 If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it: * (2a) if the Lord had not been with us,
123:2b when men rose up against us, * (3a) perhaps they would have swallowed us alive.
123:3b When their fury was enraged against us, * (4) perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.
123:5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. * Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
123:6 Blessed is the Lord, * who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
123:7a Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow * from the snare of the hunters.
123:7b The snare has been broken, * and we have been freed.

124:2b Mountains surround it. † And the Lord surrounds his people, * from this time forward and even forever.
124:3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, * so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.
124:4 Do good, O Lord, to the good * and to the upright of heart.

125:5 Those who sow in tears * shall reap in exultation.
125:6a When departing, they went forth and wept, * sowing their seeds.
125:6b But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, * carrying their sheaves.

Psalm 126 [5]
126:1a Unless the Lord has built the house, * those who build it have labored in vain.
126:1b Unless the Lord has guarded the city, * he who guards it watches in vain.
126:2a It is in vain that you rise before daylight, * that you rise up after you have sat down, you who chew the bread of sorrow.
126:2b Whereas, to his beloved, he will give sleep. * (3) Behold, the inheritance of the Lord is sons, the reward is the fruit of the womb.
126:4 Like arrows in the hand of the powerful, * so are the sons of those who have been cast out.
126:5 Blessed is the man who has filled his desire from these things. * He will not be confounded when he speaks to his enemies at the gate.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

Hymn
O glorious King of martyr hosts,
Thou crown that each confessor boasts,
Who leadest to celestial day
Those who have cast earth's joys away:
Thine ear in mercy, Saviour, lend,
While unto thee our prayers ascend;
And as we count their triumphs won,
Forgive the sins that we have done.
Martyrs in thee their triumphs gain,
From thee confessors grace obtain;
O'ercome in us the lust of sin,
That we thy pardoning love may win.
To thee who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.
