1

UNTO thee 2lift Ia up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2

Behold, as the eyes of servants 3look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, 4until that he have mercy upon us.

3

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for 5we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those 6that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
