[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.
