To You I Lift Up My Eyes
A Song of Ascents.
To You I alift up my eyes,
The One benthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of aslaves look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a servant‑girl to the hand of her mistress,
So our beyes look to Yahweh our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
3 aBe gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly saturated bwith contempt.
4 Our soul is greatly saturated
With the amockery of bthose who are at ease,
And with the ccontempt of the proud.
