Vers 1
To you in heaven, our LORD so good and great,
I lift my eyes and wait.
As eyes of slaves will to their lord be turning
when for a favour yearning,
and as a slave girl’s eyes intently linger
upon her mistress’ fingers,
so do our eyes look to our Master’s face
until he grants us grace.
Vers 2
Show us your pity; LORD, be merciful!
O LORD, be merciful!
Too long, O God, have we been made to suffer
the insults of the scoffer.
We’ve had our fill of taunting and derision,
of all the cruel oppression
by those who in their proud complacency
treat us disdainfully.
