| 1A Song of Ascents. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. | 1To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! |
| 2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He has mercy on us. | 2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he has mercy upon us. |
| 3Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. | 3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. |
| 4Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud. | 4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. |
