1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2  Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are directed] to Jehovah our ° Elohim|strong="H0430"God, until he be gracious unto us.

3  Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
