1 To You I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

2 Behold, 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 Jehovah our God, until he is gracious to us.

3 Have mercy on us, O Jehovah, be gracious to us, for we are greatly filled with contempt.

4 We are filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
