A Song of the Ascents.
123 To you I raise my eyes,
You who are enthroned in the heavens.
2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
And the eyes of a servant girl to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} our Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}
Until he shows us favor.
3 Show us favor, O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, show us favor,
For we have had our full share of contempt.
4 We have had our full share of ridicule from the self-assured
And the contempt of the arrogant.
