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