| 1 | [A song for going up to worship.] I look up to you, to the one who sits enthroned in heaven. | To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! | A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven. | |
| 2 | As servants depend on their masters, as a maid depends on her mistress, so we depend on the LORD our God until he has pity on us. | Behold, 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. | As 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. | |
| 3 | Have pity on us, O LORD. Have pity on us because we have suffered more than our share of contempt. | Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. | Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt. | |
| 4 | We have suffered more than our share of ridicule from those who are carefree. We have suffered more than our share of contempt from those who are arrogant. | Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. | We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud. | |
