| 1 | Unto You do I lift up my eyes, O You Who are enthroned in heaven. |
| 2 | Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, and as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy
and
loving-kindness for us. |
| 3 | Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on
and
loving-kindness for us, for we are exceedingly satiated with contempt. |
| 4 | Our life is exceedingly filled with the scorning
and
scoffing of those who are at ease and with the contempt of the proud (irresponsible tyrants who disregard God’s law). |
