Prayer for the Lord’s Help.
A Song of Ascents.
1 To You I lift up my eyes,
O You who are enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servantslookto the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyeslookto the Lordour God,
Until He is gracious to us.
3 Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is greatly filled
With the scoffing of those who are at ease,
Andwith the contempt of the proud.
