| 1A Song of Ascents. To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! | 1A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven. |
| 2Behold, 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 the LORD our God, Until He is gracious to us. | 2As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy. |
| 3Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt. | 3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt. |
| 4Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. | 4We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud. |
