1
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens .
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You , the One enthroned in heaven .
2
Behold, 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.
As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master , as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress , so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy .
3
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy , for we have endured much contempt.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease , and with the contempt of the proud.
We have endured much scorn from the arrogant , much contempt from the proud.
