UNTO You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a miad to hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until He has mercy on us.

3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us ! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud. PSALM 123
