1 A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.

1 He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka anga atu oku kanohi ki a koe, e koe e noho mai nei i nga rangi.

2 Ina, pera tonu nga kanohi o nga pononga e titiro nei ki te ringa o to ratou rangatira, nga kanohi hoki o te kotiro ki te ringa o tona rangatira wahine; me o matou kanohi e titiro nei ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua, kia tohu ra ano ia i a matou.

3 Tohungia matou, e Ihowa, tohungia matou: kua tino kapi hoki matou i te whakahawea.

4 Kapi tonu to matou wairua i te whakahi a te hunga e noho noa ana, i te whakahawea a te hunga whakakake.
