Song of degrees.
I lift up my eyes to You, who live in heaven. Behold, like the eyes of a servant in the hand of his masters, like the eyes of a slave in the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are toward the Lord our God, until He will reward us. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we are filled with much humiliation, especially our souls are filled with the reproaches of the gobblers and the humiliation of the proud.
