Prayer for the  Lord’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.
