1 To you I have lifted up my eyes,
the one enthroned in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a slave-girl to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to Yahweh our God
until he shows us favor.
3 Show us favor, O Yahweh, show us favor,
for we have had more than our fill of contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than its fill
with the mocking of those who are at ease,
the contempt of the proud.
