1 Cántico gradual. A TI que habitas en los cielos, alcé mis ojos.
2 He aquí como los ojos de los siervos [miran] á la mano de sus señores, [y] como los ojos de la sierva á la mano de su señora; así nuestros ojos [miran] á Jehová nuestro Dios, hasta que haya misericordia de nosotros.

4 Muy harta está nuestra alma del escarnio de los holgados, y del menosprecio de los soberbios.
