[1] To you I do lift up my eyes, You who sit in the heavens. [2] Behold,
as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the
eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look to Yahweh,
our God, Until he has mercy on us. [3] Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have
mercy on us, For we have endured much contempt. [4] Our soul is
exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud. Psalm 124 A Song of Ascents. By
David.
