Prayer for Relief from Contempt
A Song of Ascents.
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.
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.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.
