1Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes , O thou that sittest in the heavens . 2Behold , as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress ; So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God , Until he have mercy upon us .
The Plight of the Servants
3Have mercy upon us , O Jehovah , have mercy upon us ; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease , And with the contempt of the proud .
