1 To You I have raised my eyes,

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 female servant to the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to the Lord our God,

Until He is gracious to us.

3 Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us,

For we have had much more than enough of contempt.

4 Our soul has had much more than enough

Of the scoffing of those who are at ease,

And of the contempt of the proud.
