A Song of Ascents.
1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servantslookunto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyeslookunto theLordour God, until he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, OLord, 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.
