1. I look up to you,to the one who sits enthroned in heaven.
2. As servants depend on their masters,as a maid depends on her mistress,so we depend on the Lord our Goduntil he has pity on us.
3. Have pity on us, O Lord.Have pity on usbecause we have suffered more than our share of contempt.
4. We have suffered more than our share of ridiculefrom those who are carefree.We have suffered more than our share of contemptfrom those who are arrogant.
