Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

123 A Song of mAscents.

  1 To you I qlift up my eyes,

O you who are renthroned in the heavens!

  2 Behold, as the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maidservant

to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes look to the Lord our God,

till he has mercy upon us.

  3 sHave mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,

for we have had more than enough of tcontempt.

  4 Our soul has had more than enough

of uthe scorn of vthose who are at ease,

of the contempt of wthe proud.
