To you I lift up my eyes, to you enthroned in the heavens.
2. As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress.
3. So our eyes look to the Lord our God, until he show us his mercy.
To you I lift up my eyes, to you enthroned in the heavens.
4. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
5. Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, and of the derision of the proud.
To you I lift up my eyes, to you enthroned in the heavens.
