1 To you, O LORD, I lift my eyes,
to you enthroned above the skies.
As servants watch their master's hand,
or maidens by their mistress stand,
so to the LORD our eyes we raise,
until his mercy he displays.

2 O LORD our God, your mercy show,
for human pride and scorn we know.
Reproach and shame your saints endure
from sinners who appear secure.
To you, O LORD, I lift my eyes,
to you enthroned above the skies.
