0The song of the steps.
1To you I lifted up my eyes, you that dwell in the heavens.
2Behold, as the eyes of slaves are on the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a female slave on the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on Yahweh our God, until he shows us favor.
3Show us favor, Yahweh, show us favor, for we have been greatly sated with contempt.
4Our living being has been greatly sated with the mockery of the arrogant, the contempt of the lofty.
