1A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up{H5375} mine eyes,{H5869} O thou that sittest{H3427} in the heavens.{H8064}
2Behold, as the eyes{H5869} of servants{H5650} [look] unto the hand{H3027} of their master,{H113} As the eyes{H5869} of a maid{H8198} unto the hand{H3027} of her mistress;{H1404} So our eyes{H5869} [look] unto Jehovah{H3068} our God,{H430} Until he have mercy{H2603} upon us.
3Have mercy{H2603} upon us, O Jehovah,{H3068} have mercy{H2603} upon us; For we are exceedingly{H7227} filled{H7646} with contempt.{H937}
4Our soul{H5315} is exceedingly{H7227} filled{H7646} With the scoffing{H3933} of those that are at ease,{H7600} And with the contempt{H937} of the proud.{H1343}
