1A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.
1Palveteekonna laul. Ma tõstan oma silmad sinu poole, kes istud taevas.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon 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.
3Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
3Anna meile armu, Issand! Anna meile armu, sest meil on enam kui küllalt põlgusest!
4Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
4Meie hing on küllalt saanud tunda jultunute irvitust ja uhkete põlgust.
