1 I lift up my eyes to you,to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,so our eyes look to the Lord our God,till he shows us his mercy.
3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no endof ridicule from the arrogant,of contempt from the proud.
