In My Distress (120)

`I lift up my / eyes to you,

`you who sit_ / in the heavens.

`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,

un `til he has_ mercy / on~ us.

Have `mercy on us, LORD, have mercy / on~ us,

`for we have endured_ / much contempt. +

`We have had_ more than enough scorn_ from the / arrogant,

`with_ the contempt_ / of the proud.
