To You I Do Lift Up My Eyes

1{A Song of degrees.} Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2Behold, 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.

3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

1 A Song of Ascents. To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.


I Lift Up My Eyes to You

A song of ascents.

1I lift up my eyes to You,

the One enthroned in heaven.

2 As the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maidservant

look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes are on the LORD our God

until He shows us mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy,

for we have endured much contempt.

4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant,

much contempt from the proud.


To You I Do Lift Up My Eyes

1A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

2Lo, as eyes of men-servants Are unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant Are unto the hand of her mistress, So are our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.

3Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

4Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
