I Lift Up My Eyes to You
A song of ascents.
123I lift up my eyes to You,
the One enthroned in heaven.
2As 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.
3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy,
for we have endured much contempt.
4We have endured much scorn from the arrogant,
much contempt from the proud.
