1 I look up to you,to the one who sits enthroned in heaven.
2 As servants depend on their masters,as a maid depends on her mistress,so we depend on the Lord our Goduntil he has pity on us.
3 Have pity on us, O Lord.Have pity on usbecause we have suffered more than our share of contempt.
4 We have suffered more than our share of ridiculefrom those who are carefree.We have suffered more than our share of contemptfrom those who are arrogant.
