Looking for God’s Favor

1 A song of ascents.
I lift my eyes to You,
the One enthroned in heaven.(A)
2
Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,
like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God
until He shows us favor.(B)
3
Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt.(C)
4
We’ve had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud.(D)
