Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes,

O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

2Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master,

As the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress;

So our eyes look unto the Lord our God,

Until He be gracious unto us.

3Be gracious unto us, O Lord, be gracious unto us;

For we are full sated with contempt.

4Our soul is full sated

With the scorning of those that are at ease,

And with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
