1To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.
1{Pesem stopinj.} K tebi dvigam oči svoje, o ti, ki stoluješ v nebesih!
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.
2Glej, kakor hlapcev oči gledajo na roko gospodarja svojega, kakor dekle oči na roko gospodinje svoje: tako gledajo oči naše v GOSPODA, Boga našega, dokler se nas ne usmili.
3Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
3Usmili se nas, GOSPOD, usmili se nas, ker dovolj je, siti smo zaničevanja.Dosti je nasičena duša naša sramočenja lahkoživcev in zaničevanja prevzetnežev.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
4Dosti je nasičena duša naša sramočenja lahkoživcev in zaničevanja prevzetnežev.
