1 (122-1) To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
1
I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 (122-2) Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.
