1 U nto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 B ehold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.

3 B e gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 O ur soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
