1 U nto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

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

2 B ehold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, 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 on us.

3 H ave mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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

4 O ur soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.

Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.
