1To you I lift up my eyes, you who live in the heavens.
2Look, as the eyes of servants watch the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a servant girl watch the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait on the LORD our God, until he has mercy on us.
3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us. We have had more than enough of contempt.
4Our soul has had more than enough of the mocking of those who are at ease, and of the contempt of the proud.
