1A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
1Palveteekonna laul. Ma tõstan oma silmad sinu poole, kes istud taevas.
2Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
2Vaata, otsekui sulaste silmad vaatavad oma isandate käte peale, otsekui teenija silmad vaatavad oma emanda käte peale, nõnda vaatavad meie silmad Issanda, meie Jumala peale, kuni tema meile armu annab.
3Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
3Anna meile armu, Issand! Anna meile armu, sest meil on enam kui küllalt põlgusest!
4Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
4Meie hing on küllalt saanud tunda jultunute irvitust ja uhkete põlgust.
