1[[A Song of degrees.]] Unto youⁱ lift I up mine eyes, O youⁱ that dwell in the heavens.

2Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a virgin unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], until that he have mercy upon us.

3Have mercy upon us, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.
