A Song of Ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to you,

you who sit in the heavens.

2 Behold, 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.

3 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,

for we have endured much contempt.

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

with the contempt of the proud.

1 坐在天上的主啊! 我向你举目。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)

2 仆人的眼睛怎样望着主人的手, 婢女的眼睛怎样望着主母的手, 我们的眼睛也照样望着耶和华我们的 神, 直到他向我们施恩。

3 耶和华啊! 求你向我们施恩, 求你向我们施恩; 因为我们饱受藐视, 到了极点。

4 我们饱受那些安逸的人的嘲笑, 和骄傲的人的藐视, 到了极点。
