A song of ascents. I lift up - my eyes to You , the One enthroned in heaven.
- As the eyes of servants (look) to the hand of their master , as the eyes of a maidservant (look) to the hand of her mistress , so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.
Have mercy on us , O LORD , have mercy , for we have endured much contempt.
We have endured much scorn from the arrogant , much contempt from the proud.
