¹ To you I lift up my eyes,
    O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
² As the eyes of servants
    look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid
    to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
    until he has mercy upon us.

³ Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
    for we have had more than enough of contempt.
⁴ Our soul has had more than its fill
    of the scorn of those who are at ease,
    of the contempt of the proud.
