Be gracious to me, O Lord; See my affliction from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
That I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
Psalms 9:13-14 (NASB)
Our eyes look to the Lord
To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He is gracious to us.
Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt.
Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
Psalms 123 (NASB)
