1A song of ascents: I raise my eyes to you, whose throne is in heaven.
2As a servant looks to the hand of his master, or a slave-girl to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes turn to ADONAI our God, until he has mercy on us.
3Have mercy on us, ADONAI, have mercy; for we have had our fill of contempt,
4more than our fill of scorn from the complacent and contempt from the arrogant.
