1 To you lift I up my eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait on the LORD our God, until that he have 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 filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
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 wait upon Jehovah our God, until He shall have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us! For we are more than enough held in contempt.
4 Our soul has more than enough of the derision of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud who oppress us.
