VNto thee lift I up mine eyes: O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, even as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistresse: even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, untill he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are utterly despised.
4 Our soul is filled with the scornfull reproofe of the wealthy: and with the despite fulnesse of the proud.
O Lord God, that dwellest in the heavens, have mercy upon us in all our troubles, in contempt, in our poverty, and when ever we are oppressed by any injurious practices of the proud. Thou art our Lord and Master, we are thy servants, our eyes wait upon thee till thou have mercy upon us: let us not be ashamed of our hope, nor unfaithfull in our services, nor distrustfull of thy providence, but make us dili∣gent labourers in our calling, good husbands of our talents, and faithfull in all thy house, that we first se••••ing thee may at last sit down at meat with thee at thy table in thy Kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
