1
A song of ascents.I look up toward you,the one enthroned in heaven.2
Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes will look to the LORD, our God, until he shows us favor.3
Show us favor, O LORD, show us favor!For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.4
We have had our fill of the taunts of the self-assured,of the contempt of the proud.
