¹ Lord, I look up to you,
    up to heaven, where you rule.
² As a servant depends on his master,
    as a maid depends on her mistress,
so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God,
    until you have mercy on us.

³ Be merciful to us, Lord, be merciful;
    we have been treated with so much contempt.
⁴ We have been mocked too long by the rich
    and scorned by proud oppressors.
