[[A song of degrees.]] [1] I lift up mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heavens.[2] Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress: so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God until he have mercy upon us.[3] Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have suffered too much contempt.[4] Our soul is filled too full of the mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulness of the proud.
