1 Unto 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 masters,As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,So our eyes look to the Lord our God,Until He has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filledWith the scorn of those who are at ease,With the contempt of the proud.
