הִנֵּ֨ה כְעֵינֵ֪י עֲבָדִ֡ים אֶל יַ֤ד אֲדוֹנֵיהֶ֗ם כְּעֵינֵ֣י שִׁפְחָה֮ אֶ֪ל יַ֫ד גְּבִרְתָּ֥הּ כֵּ֤ן עֵינֵ֥ינוּ אֶל יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ עַ֝֗ד שֶׁיְּחָנֵּֽנוּ׃

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he has mercy upon us.

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