1 I lift my eyes to you, to you who are enthroned in the heavens.

2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a servant woman look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until he is gracious to us.

3 Be gracious to us, LORD, be gracious to us, for we have had more than enough contempt.

4 Our soul has had more than enough of the mockery of those at ease and the contempt of the arrogant.
