1 A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.

1 [A Song of degrees.] Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.2 Behold, as the eyes of servants {look} unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes {are directed} to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.3 Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
