A Song of Ascents. 1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens. 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until he have mercy upon us. 3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorning of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. |
