Prayer for the Lord’s Help.
1 To You I have raised my eyes, You who are enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a female servant to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He is gracious to us.
3 Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us, For we have had much more than enough of contempt.
4 Our soul has had much more than enough Of the scoffing of those who are at ease, And of the contempt of the proud.
