- Chapter 123 -

I lift up my eyes to you

1
A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.
3
Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.
4
Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.

I lift up my eyes to you

1
I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.
3
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
