1 To you I lift up my eyes,O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servantslook to the hand of their master,as the eyes of a maidservantto the hand of her mistress,so our eyes look to the Lord our God,till he has mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enoughof the scorn of those who are at ease,of the contempt of the proud.
