Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 |
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
|
በማይ ፡ እምአስጠሙነ ፤
|
4 |
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
