| 1To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! | 1A Song of Ascents. To 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 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. | 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. |
| 3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. | 3Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt. |
| 4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. | 4Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. |
