1 Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon Jehovah our God, until He shall have mercy upon us.3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us! For we are more than enough held in contempt.4 Our soul has more than enough of the derision of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud who oppress us.
