1A Song of Ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants toward the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant toward the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are toward Yahweh our God, until he shows us favor.
3Show us favor, Yahweh, show us favor, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4Our soul has had more than enough of the mockery of those at ease, of the contempt of the arrogant.
