1 A Song of the Ascents. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> Unto You I lift up my eyes, [to] the One sitting in the heavens.2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [are] to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maidservant [are] to the hand of her mistress, so [are] our eyes to YHWH our God, until He shows us mercy.3 Have mercy on us, O YHWH, Have mercy on us! For we are filled exceedingly with contempt.4 Exceedingly our soul has been filled with the scorn of those at ease, with the contempt of the prideful ones.
