PSAL. CXXIII. A song of degrees. (Book 123)

O thou that dwellest in the heav'ns,
I lift mine eyes to Thee.
Behold, as servants eyes do lookLine 2 
their masters hand to see,
As hand-maids eyes her mistresse hand,
so do our eyes attend
Upon the Lord our God, untill
to us he mercy send.

O Lord, be gracious to us,Line 3 
unto us gracious be:
Because replenish'd with contempt
exceedingly are we.
Our soul is fill'd with scorn of thoseLine 4 
that at their ease abide,
And with the insolent contempt
of those that swell in pride.
