1. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.
2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.
3. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
