¹To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.

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

²Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on 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 on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

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

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

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