I lift up my Eyes to the Lord
A Song of Ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to you,
you who sit in the heavens.
2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
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 have endured much contempt.
4 We have had our fill of scoffing
from those who are at ease,
of contempt from those who are proud.
