1 I raise my eyes to you—you who rule heaven.
2 Just as the eyes of servants attend to their masters’ hand,just as the eyes of a female servant attends to her mistress’ hand—that’s how our eyes attend to the Lord our Goduntil he has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, Lord! Have mercybecause we’ve had more than enough shame.
4 We’ve had more than enough mockery from the self-confident,more than enough shame from the proud.
