1 Prayer for Relief from Contempt A Song of Ascents. Unto You Neh. 2:10; Esth. 10:3 I lift up my eyes, O You Ps. 121:1; 141:8 who dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, Ps. 2:4; 11:4; 115:3 So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord , have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.
