Book Five (Psalms 107-150) "Concerning God and His Word"

A Song of degrees.


1:   Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2:   Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress;

so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3:   Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4:   Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
