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

2. Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes upon יְהוָ֥ה our Elohim, until that he have mercy upon us.

3. Have mercy upon us, O יְהוָ֥ה, have mercy upon 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.
