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, LORD, have mercy on us,
for we have endured much contempt.
4 Our soul is greatly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,
with the contempt of the proud.
