1 To you I lift up my eyes, ♦︎
to you that are enthroned in the heavens.
2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, ♦︎
or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
3 So our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, ♦︎
until he have mercy upon us.
4 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, ♦︎
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
5 Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of the arrogant, ♦︎
and of the contempt of the proud.
1 Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice; ♦︎
let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.
2 If you, Lord, were to mark what is done amiss, ♦︎
O Lord, who could stand?
3 But there is forgiveness with you, ♦︎
so that you shall be feared.
4 I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him; ♦︎
in his word is my hope.
5 My soul waits for the Lord,
more than the night watch for the morning, ♦︎
more than the night watch for the morning.
6 O Israel, wait for the Lord, ♦︎
for with the Lord there is mercy;
7 With him is plenteous redemption ♦︎
and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.

27 Again they came to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him 28and said, By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them? 29Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin? Answer me. 31They argued with one another, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him? 32But shall we say, Of human origin?they were afraid of the crowd, for all regarded John as truly a prophet. 33So they answered Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
