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