* **I lift up my eyes** - Here the author refers to his eyes because that is the part of the body used for seeing. AT: "I look to you" (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_synecdoche]])
* **enthroned** - sitting on a throne and ruling as king
* **as the eyes of servants … as the eyes of a maid … so our eyes look …** - These three phrases have similar meanings.

* **maids** - "servant girls"
* **mistress** - the woman who has authority over the servant girls
