1A Song of Ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! (诗2:4; 诗25:15; 诗120:1; 诗121:1; 诗141:8)2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us.3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. (尼4:4; 诗4:1)4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. (尼2:19; 诗119:51; 赛32:9; 赛32:11; 摩6:1)
