Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

A Song of Ascents.

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 maidservant

to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes look to the Lord our God,

till he has mercy upon us.

³ Have mercy upon us, O Lord , have mercy upon us,

for we have had more than enough of contempt.

⁴ Our soul has had more than enough

of the scorn of those who are at ease,

of the contempt of the proud.
