Prayer for Relief from Contempt

A Song of Ascents.

1 Unto You aI lift up my eyes,
O You bwho dwell in the heavens. 
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
aSo our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us. 
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
