1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes,
O thou that sittest in the heavens.
|
|
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress;
So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God,
Until he have mercy upon us.

Wait upon the LORD – We should recognize the divine providences and look for them. R5844:2

3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us;
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
|

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scoffing of those that are at ease,
And with the contempt of the proud. |
