King James Version, with Nii Okai's journal notes · 1 note
1Unto 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.
This is the state of many in our day, and thus this should be the prayer of many, and I guess it is.
Yet it needs to be prayed more often, and many more ought to pray 🙏 in such manner.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
