Prayer for the L{ORD}'{S} Help.

A Song of Ascents.

1
To You I lift up my eyes,
O 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 maid 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, O LORD, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly filled with contempt.

4
Our soul is greatly filled
With the scoffing of those who are at ease,
{And} with the contempt of the proud.
