1A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have lifted up my eyes to You, "" O dweller in the heavens.

2Behold, as eyes of menservants "" [Are] to the hand of their masters, "" As eyes of a maidservant "" [Are] to the hand of her mistress, "" So [are] our eyes to our God YHWH, "" Until He favors us.

3Favor us, O YHWH, favor us, "" For we have been greatly filled with contempt,

4Our soul has been greatly filled "" With the scorning of the easy ones, "" With the contempt of the arrogant!
