| 1A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven. | 1A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven. |
| 2As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy. | 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. |
| 3Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt. | 3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt. |
| 4We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud. | 4We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud. |
