A song for the ascent to Jerusalem.
I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.
We look to the LORD our God for His mercy,
Just as servants keep their eyes on their master,
As a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy,
For we have had our fill of contempt.
We have had our fill of the scoffing of the proud
And the contempt of the arrogant.
