1 Lord, I look up to you, up to heaven, where you rule.
1
<<A Song of Ascents.>> To you I do lift up my eyes, You who sit in the heavens.
2 As a servant depends on his master, as a maid depends on her mistress, so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God, until you have mercy on us.
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 Be merciful to us, Lord, be merciful; we have been treated with so much contempt.
3
Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, For we have endured much contempt.
4 We have been mocked too long by the rich and scorned by proud oppressors.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.
