| 1To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! | 1To you, who sit enthroned in heaven, I lift up my eyes. |
| 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. | 2Consider this: as the eyes of a servant focus on what his master provides, and as the eyes of a female servant focus on what her mistress provides, so our eyes focus on the LORD our God, until he has mercy on us. |
| 3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. | 3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt. |
| 4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. | 4Our lives overflow with scorn from those who live at ease, with contempt from those who are proud. |
