1
I lift up my eyes to you, the one enthroned 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 is gracious to us.
3
Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us, for long enough we have had our fill of contempt.
4
For long enough our soul has had its fill of the derision of the self-confident, the contempt of [the] arrogant.
