A song of ascents.
1I look up toward you,the one enthroned in heaven.
2Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress,so my eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.
3Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor!For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.
4We have had our fillof the taunts of the self-assured,of the contempt of the proud.
