But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.
On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.
A Song of Ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
