1 To You I lift up my eyes,O You who dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress,so our eyes look upon the Lord our God,until He has mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,for we have been completely filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the ridicule of those who are at ease,and with the contempt of the proud ones.
