1 I lift up my eyes to you,
to you whose throne is in heaven.
We praise You, Lord.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
till he shows us his mercy.
We thank You for the treasures You have entrusted to us.
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us,
for we have endured much contempt.
We relinquish our enemies to You.
4 We have endured much ridicule from the proud,
much contempt from the arrogant.
Bless our enemies, Lord, known and unknown.
