| 1. | {A Song of Ascents.} To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens. |
A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens. |
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. | ||
| 2. | Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us. | See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us. | Behold, 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. | ||
| 3. | Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt. | Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us. | Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. | ||
| 4. | Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud. | For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul. | Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. | ||
