Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God
A Song of Ascents.
1
To you I q lift up my eyes,
O you who are r enthroned in the heavens!
2
Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
3
s Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of t contempt.
4
Our soul has had more than enough
of u the scorn of v those who are at ease,
of the contempt of w the proud.
