123
Prayer for the Lord’s Help.
A Song of Ascents.
To You I Alift up my eyes,
O You who Bare enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of Aservants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our Beyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
 
ABe gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly filled Bwith contempt.
Our soul is greatly filled
With the Ascoffing of Bthose who are at ease,
And with the Ccontempt of the proud.
