¹A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

¹Nyanyian ziarah. Aku menengadah kepada-Mu ya TUHAN yang memerintah di surga.

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.

²Seperti seorang hamba bergantung kepada tuannya, dan seorang hamba perempuan kepada nyonyanya, demikianlah kami menantikan Engkau, ya TUHAN, Allah kami, sampai Engkau mengasihani kami.

³Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

³Kasihanilah kami, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, sebab kami sudah terlalu banyak dihina.

⁴Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.

⁴Sudah cukup kami diolok-olok orang kaya, dan dicemooh orang-orang yang sombong.
