A Song of Ascents
1O thou that dwellest in the heav'ns,
I lift mine eyes to thee.
2Behold, as servants' eyes do look
their masters' hand to see,
As handmaid's eyes her mistress' hand;
so do our eyes attend
Upon the Lord our God, until
to us he mercy send.
3O Lord, be gracious to us,
unto us gracious be;
Because replenish'd with contempt
exceedingly are we.
4Our soul is fill'd with scorn of those
that at their ease abide,
And with the insolent contempt
of those that swell in pride.

Psalm 123
123
Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents.
1To you I #Ps. 121:1; [Ps. 141:8]; See Ps. 25:15 lift up my eyes,
O you who are #See Ps. 2:4enthroned in the heavens!
2Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
3 #
Ps. 4:1 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of #[Neh. 4:4]contempt.
4Our soul has had more than enough
of #[Neh. 2:19] the scorn of #Isa. 32:9, 11; Amos 6:1 those who are at ease,
of the contempt of #See Ps. 119:51the proud.
