1 I lift my eyes to you,

the one enthroned in heaven.  *

2 Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,

like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,

so our eyes are on the  Lord our God

until he shows us favor.  *

3 Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,

for we’ve had more than enough contempt.  *

4 We’ve had more than enough

scorn from the arrogant

and contempt from the proud.  *
